Mr. Speaker, what I was saying earlier is that when people agree to live in a community, in the same village, on the same street, or in the same city, they have to agree to limit their own rights to make room for their neighbours' rights.
In order to live in society, we have to agree that our rights are fundamentally, basically and necessarily limited. I think it is the same thing for countries that by mutual consent enter into international agreements on behaviour, free trade, respect for the environment and certain environmental standards.
If a country wants to promote respect for the environment and it does so by becoming a signatory to international agreements, it is very likely that it will give up some portion of its sovereignty for the international common good. The same holds true for the members of the United Nations. We agree to be a member of a group like the United Nations; we accept its rules, we agree to submit to them. By doing so, we essentially limit our own sovereignty, but we do so for the common good.
Even though my time has expired, I hope this was helpful to my colleague from the Yukon.
