Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There is a coordinated effort between federal officials and our government officials both in the laboratories, field studies, as well as our wildlife officers and biologists, to monitor the status of our wildlife species. It is their attention that any changes in global warming will impact on the vegetation and the migration routes and other habits of the different species. There has been notable changes among some species. Of course, we make the observations but are not always able to say we are backed by scientific study. We know that global warming is happening. The people know global warming is happening. We just do not have a solid scientific basis yet to say that it is, in fact, an observation or a conclusion based on an accumulation of science and an organized body of science. Yes, we are trying to keep an eye on the impact that it is going to have on our wildlife and we are aware of the implications of it. Thank you.
