On the question of oil and gas, I think we've been over it enough, and I've made my point fairly clearly. My lament is that we didn't ask industry whether they would be willing to give up more than they currently have.
I sit on the stakeholder committee, which is industry, government, and NGOs, and I've always found industry to have lots of goodwill toward the island, and to be extremely supportive of protecting the island, hence my thought that with a bit of discussion, maybe we could have had a park that would have been a little cleaner when it came to oil and gas activity.
After oil and gas comes human visitation. We have to find the right balance. We have to regulate how, when, and how many people visit the island. People have been visiting the island, and I think they should continue to do so, but we need to be very careful about how they do it. Parks Canada has lots of experience there, so that's welcome. Not all 30-million-plus Canadians can visit the island, so we have to find good ways to interpret the island for them on the mainland and on the Internet, etc.
One thing I would note is the people who can visit the island, for the most part, are reasonably wealthy because it costs up to $5,000 to $10,000 to get to the island, depending on how you get there, unless you're a fisherman perhaps. It would be interesting to find a way so each year three or four Canadians could be selected to visit the island through a lottery or something like that, who couldn't otherwise afford to go. That's not a top priority in terms of ecological integrity, but a lot of Canadians can't afford to go to the island and that might be a nice way to let them have a possible chance.
