I have a question for Mr. Miller.
I'm going to read this because I want to set the stage properly, I guess. You mentioned Sable Island in your opening remarks, and I want to follow up on that issue in terms of ensuring protected areas, in the larger sense, really are sufficiently protected.
As I'm sure you're aware, in response to a petition by the Mikisew Cree First Nation, UNESCO was investigating the government's failure to protect Wood Buffalo National Park, I think from the impacts of oil, gas, and hydro projects, including Site C in British Columbia. We should see the results of that fairly soon.
Wood Buffalo has been a world heritage site for more than three decades and could now land on the UN list of sites in danger. UNESCO has also repeatedly raised concerns about the impacts of oil and gas projects on Gros Morne National Park and has warned that its heritage site status may also be compromised, and you've spoken about oil and gas exploration on Sable Island.
The government is committed to restoring ecological integrity as a priority in our national park system, but we have heard concerns from a number of witnesses that our protected areas are not as protected as they should be.
In your view, what measures does the federal government need to take to ensure that our national parks in Canada are better protected and preserved?
