Mr. Speaker, obviously we are angry that the province never elevated its protection of the Rouge Park. That is why we brought forward a plan that would do that in the context of an urban setting, where highways, landfills, and zoos actually exist.
That is why we brought forward a plan that would have 12 additional protections that do not exist in the park right now.
That is why we have done what Ian Buchanan, of York region, said we should do, which is to bring it under one management window so that people know what they can and cannot expect in the park.
That is why there will be 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year protection and enforcement in the park, which does not exist now.
That is why there will be no mining in the park, and before they say that there are no mines, there are. There are aggregate mines in the park. That would stop under our plan.
That is why we would provide $140 million to upgrade the protection of the natural heritage of the area, which does not exist currently.
That is why we would remove 5,000 acres from a potential airport and put it under the protection of Parks Canada.
We are going to do all of these things. The only thing we are not doing is listening to the opposition that suggests we need to evict farmers at the same time. We will not do that. We will protect the environment. We will protect the farmers. We will protect the thousands of jobs and billions of dollars of economic activity that are present in the area. We are going to do it, despite the fact that the Ontario Liberal government will not help us with that.
