Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. So there's an expansive coverage of this in the committee report about the economic benefits of guardians and conservation areas and so on. They're not really "sacrifice zones", as I think I heard earlier in the House but they do bring their own sets of benefits. And I don't think that this -- what's been suggested here is that there necessarily needs to be separate legislation but I think that there's probably ways in which the guardians can be recognized in the existing Wildlife Act, and perhaps Species at Risk Act, in terms of the contribution that they can make in terms of monitoring and research in particular. Thanks, Madam Chair.
