I would first like to thank my Conservative colleagues for allotting me this time.
I would also like to point out that we all agree that it is important, as Ms. Rempel previously mentioned, to work toward a national wetland inventory. I am really pleased that this will appear in the final report. So we have overall agreement on this point. I would have liked Ms. Rempel to say a few words in French. She speaks very good French, but that will be for another time because she is very sick today. I will pardon her for that.
I would like to ask two questions that I consider important and that you have both emphasized, concerning the two regional councils responsible for the environment. What you said was very interesting and I thank you for being here.
We have a problem with regard to the value of wetlands. That was pointed out several times. What solutions do you think should be contemplated for considering the fair value of wetlands?
We could begin with Ms. Blais and then continue with Mr. Garand or Ms. Bellemare.
