I'm not going to answer the protected-area issue at large, but I do want to bring attention to an area such as B.C., and we provide a lot of expertise to ECCC on socio-economic analysis and economic valuation of our resources, whether they be timber resources or minerals, in support of something like the Species at Risk Act, if you're talking about biodiversity. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5703356\" data-originallang=\"en\">You may know that we're looking at the southern mountain caribou, about which <a data-HoCid=\"214310\" href=\"/politicians/catherine-mckenna/\" title=\"Catherine McKenna\">Minister McKenna</a> actually issued an imminent threat determination in early May, so we're working with our industry colleagues and with the Province of B.C. There are 10 local population units in B.C. and three in Alberta. There has to be a balance\u2014that's what I would say\u2014in identifying the right areas for biodiversity, how much the quality of those stands would contribute to the pan-Canadian framework on clean growth and climate change, while supporting the well-being of communities. We have 165 communities in Canada that are dependent on forestry.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5703357\" data-originallang=\"en\">There is a balance. I'm not answering your question directly, and I don't want to dismiss it, but there are a lot of factors and we take in all of these considerations to make the right decision in the public policy.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5703355\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je vais essayer de r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 cette question. Ce n\u2019est pas une question facile, mais j\u2019ai ici des gens et des membres de mon \u00e9quipe qui travaillent... Je ne vais pas r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 la question sur les aires prot\u00e9g\u00e9es en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, mais je veux attirer l\u2019attention sur une r\u00e9gion comme la Colombie-Britannique, et nous fournissons beaucoup d\u2019expertise \u00e0 ECCC sur l\u2019analyse socio\u00e9conomique et l\u2019\u00e9valuation \u00e9conomique de nos ressources, qu\u2019il s\u2019agisse de ressources foresti\u00e8res ou de min\u00e9raux, pour appuyer quelque chose comme la Loi sur les esp\u00e8ces en p\u00e9ril, si vous parlez de biodiversit\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5703356\" data-originallang=\"en\">Vous savez peut-\u00eatre que nous nous penchons sur le caribou des montagnes du Sud, au sujet duquel la <a data-HoCid=\"214310\" href=\"/politicians/catherine-mckenna/\" title=\"Catherine McKenna\">ministre McKenna</a> a en fait rendu une d\u00e9cision concernant une menace imminente au d\u00e9but de mai. Nous travaillons donc avec nos coll\u00e8gues de l\u2019industrie et avec la province de la Colombie-Britannique. Il y a 10 unit\u00e9s de population locale en Colombie-Britannique et trois en Alberta. Il faut qu\u2019il y ait un \u00e9quilibre \u2014 c\u2019est ce que je dirais \u2014 dans la d\u00e9termination des zones propices \u00e0 la biodiversit\u00e9, dans la mesure o\u00f9 la qualit\u00e9 de ces peuplements contribuerait au Cadre pancanadien sur la croissance propre et les changements climatiques, tout en soutenant le bien-\u00eatre des collectivit\u00e9s. Au Canada, 165 collectivit\u00e9s d\u00e9pendent de l\u2019industrie foresti\u00e8re.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5703357\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il y a un \u00e9quilibre. Je ne r\u00e9ponds pas directement \u00e0 votre question, et je ne veux pas la rejeter, mais il y a beaucoup de facteurs et nous tenons compte de tous ces facteurs pour prendre la bonne d\u00e9cision dans la politique publique.</p>"
