However, we said to the NCC and to the NCC mandate review panel, two or three years ago, that we agreed the commission should buy back a certain number of lands, where there are sensitive areas, lands upon which there is important biodiversity or where there are species in need of protection or at risk, areas where there are marshlands or places where there is significant flora. We are not against the NCC buying them and protecting them. On the contrary, I think it is a good idea. However, it must stop there.
