Mr. McGuinty, I would add a couple of things in terms of international standards and what we are doing with this national marine conservation area.
First of all, the international community looks at these kinds of protected areas to look at to what degree are you protecting them. With this proposal, under the law there would be no further oil exploration or development in this area for all time.
The second thing is that at the international level there is a lot of emphasis on establishing marine protected areas for the purpose of representing different types of ecosystems. Representation is one of the core elements of the Convention on Biological Diversity and other international commitments. Gwaii Haanas will not only represent one of 29 marine regions; it will represent two. So we, through one marine protected area, are picking up two representative areas, the Queen Charlotte Sound and Hecate Strait.
The third thing is that a lot of these conventions place emphasis on governments working hand in hand with aboriginal people and first nations, and to that degree, this one really illustrates that in particular. We have two agreements with the Haida. one for the land and one for the marine. So there are those different elements that we pick up.
