I don't know if you are in a position to answer me. How can a federal bill — we aren't talking about the Canadian Constitution, nor of the Charter of Rights or the Fisheries Act — lead to interference in fields that are clearly under provincial jurisdiction? I have a lot of trouble understanding how this aspect of the bill would not be amended by the courts. I don't know if you can enlighten me on this.
You are no doubt aware that even if there is a democratic process surrounding the adoption of bills or regulations, a lot of citizens are frustrated by the fact that even if there are regulations, there are exceptions that crop up. For instance, this morning, we learned that a tailings pond in Alberta, even though the Alberta Energy Board gave its approval, is leaking and contaminating a stream and some wetlands. It is the frustration over such incidents that gave rise to this bill, in my opinion.
Since I am out of time, I will yield the floor.
