Mr. Chairman, the fact that the motion is being tabled and studied here constitutes a very good reason to debate it, in my opinion. Moreover, if my colleagues feel that they have no right to review an amendment made by the Department of Agriculture to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, when this falls precisely within the committee's purview, I wonder what the circumstances would be in which we should intervene.
I remind you that this bill tabled by the Minister of Agriculture amends the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. To my knowledge, it is our responsibility to ensure that Quebec and Canada environmental interests are protected.
