Yes, I can respond to that.
As an organization, CPAWS is opposed to any oil and gas activity occurring on Sable Island or in any national park.
On the specific issue of precedent, that's a bit different, because it has to do with the stacking of the two pieces of legislation, the Canada National Parks Act and the offshore accord implementation act. Because this bill does not amend the Canada National Parks Act, that actually, in our opinion, limits the concern of precedence, because it's the paramountcy clause contained in the offshore accord implementation act that creates this special circumstance where the possibility of oil and gas occurring within a national park exists.
That being said, we know, or suspect, that in the future there may be individuals, companies, sectors, or even jurisdictions that might try to take advantage of that situation or try to suggest that there is a precedent there. We would look to Parks Canada, to the federal government, and to the Nova Scotia government to strongly refute any such assertation that a precedent had been set.
