Thank you for your question, Mr. Fisher. There are several questions there.
First of all, I have seen the beautiful city of lakes myself. I lived in Halifax for many years and was often over in Dartmouth, so I have seen many of those lakes and, of course, the Shubenacadie waterway. I know how important it is.
The thing that's important to remember here is that the protections we are re-establishing, which were removed by the previous government, address all navigable waters in Canada, not just those that are in the special schedule—which, by the way, will receive additional scrutiny because of their particular importance, whether it's for commercial shipping, recreational purposes, or the protection of indigenous rights.
Anytime somebody wants to put a major work on a navigable water, it will have to receive approval. Anytime there's an obstruction on a navigable water, I have authorization to have it removed. Anytime somebody wants to build any work on any navigable water, there will have to be a notification process beforehand to say that this is what we would like to do. It will be examined very carefully, depending on whether it constitutes a major work, a minor work, or something in between. The protections are for all navigable waters.
