According to these witnesses, climate change is the greatest threat to our ecosystems and habitat conservation. However, surprise, surprise, that is not even in the official report. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3558942\" data-originallang=\"fr\">A truly national conservation report would recognize the interdependence of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, not just terrestrial ecosystems, and would set out stronger legislative measures. The recent amendments to the Fisheries Act, the Navigable Waters Protection Act, the Species at Risk Act and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act have left gaping holes in Canada's protections for its ecosystems and habitats. We must remedy this situation immediately and strengthen these laws as quickly as possible.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3558940\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, j'ai le plaisir de pr\u00e9senter l'opinion compl\u00e9mentaire du NPD en mati\u00e8re de conservation des habitats.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3558941\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Tout d'abord, je tiens \u00e0 remercier tous les t\u00e9moins qui ont comparu devant le comit\u00e9 \u00e0 l'occasion de cette \u00e9tude. Selon les t\u00e9moins, les changements climatiques sont la plus grande menace qui p\u00e8se sur nos \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes et la conservation des habitats. Toutefois, quel hasard, cela ne figure m\u00eame pas dans le rapport officiel! </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3558942\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Par ailleurs, un v\u00e9ritable rapport national de conservation reconna\u00eetrait l'interd\u00e9pendance entre les \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes aquatiques et terrestres, et non seulement terrestres, et pr\u00e9voirait des mesures l\u00e9gislatives renforc\u00e9es. Les modifications apport\u00e9es r\u00e9cemment \u00e0 la Loi sur les p\u00eaches, \u00e0 la Loi sur la protection des eaux navigables, \u00e0 la Loi sur les esp\u00e8ces en p\u00e9ril, ainsi qu'\u00e0 la Loi canadienne sur l'\u00e9valuation environnementale ont cr\u00e9\u00e9 d'\u00e9normes failles dans les syst\u00e8mes de protection des \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes et des habitats du Canada. Il faut rem\u00e9dier \u00e0 la situation sans tarder et renforcer ces lois le plus t\u00f4t possible.</p>"
