In terms of modern protection and assessment, inclusiveness is very important, as well as a holistic approach, including the voices of our elders. I noticed that when we talk about the environment and any issues around the protection of the environment, sometimes the elders are left out of the equation. Their input is really important.
Mr. Vermette talked about co-management, and that's another issue. When we drill down to each area with respect to provinces, co-management comes into effect and we're all part of that process. I know that it can be somewhat cumbersome for the federal government because it is a huge bureaucracy that stretches from coast to coast. I'm hoping that the federal government will look at ways to make it more user friendly with respect to certain organizations. That way, these organizations, whether they're grassroots or not, will have an opportunity to provide input with respect to changes or even recommendations.
These are important, and I thank the member for the question.
