Thank you, Mr Chair. I understand in terms of some background context, I think how PAS or Conservation Area Networks are related was this concept of Y-to-Y, Yellowstone to Yukon, you know, establishing a network of conservation areas for wildlife habitat. My understanding, that was the founding initiative that drove the development of the PAS initiatives.
I understand NGOs had a clear role in terms of ensuring resources and commitment and support were given to communities along with government. So I just wanted some clarification whether the parties remain the same, as both levels of government involved, including the federal government, plus NGOs and communities? Thank you.
