Mr. Chairman, I have had the privilege and pleasure of serving my country as a park ranger, as a national park warden, and as an ex officio law enforcement officer. In every bill that I've seen, whether enforcing the National Parks Act, the Provincial Parks Act of Alberta, or the Fisheries Act and regulations and so on, there is always a provision that there is somebody designated to be the enforcement person, whether ex officio RCMP, national park wardens, Canadian Wildlife Service staff, or whatever the case might be, or at least a clause that would allow the minister to designate who can enforce the rules and regulations.
Therefore, I would propose to my colleagues opposite, if they would like to, to amend this bill in some form or another so that we can clearly identify who is going to enforce this act. Without a designation of who is going to enforce this, the act will be impotent.
