You referred to Nahanni National Park. I know the issue of, for example, the abandoned Prairie Creek mine site, which stored barrels of cyanide in a place that could potentially leak and flow down to the river. There was an area of concern and responsibility by Parks Canada toward that site because things outside of park boundaries can affect in an extremely negative way the things within.
Now, I understand that not a lot of work has been done yet because it's not officially a national park reserve site yet. Even in the handout booklet there is a comment that there is a development and implementation of environmental emergency response plans. And when I think of environmental emergencies and the responses that are necessary, obviously right now we think of oil spills in the gulf, and the potential there.
Has there been any study of currents, winds, tides? I believe that the currents in that part of the world flow north, so the tanker traffic passing south and potential problems there could be extremely devastating. Once this is a national park, what kind of power will Parks Canada have to protect this extraordinarily beautiful and delicate piece of nature from potential spills?
