It was basically that thing that you have separate legislation. We've heard things like we don't want to undermine this high, lofty ideal of ecological integrity that is applicable to some of our parks way out there in the great north and other places. That's true, but this is a separate piece of legislation, number one, so it's not directly under the National Parks Act that governs the other parks.
As Dr. Woodley said, if you go to many of our parks, if you go to Riding Mountain, you find there is the highway, the golf course, a sewage treatment plant, a cottage community, and leases on the land. It's the same in Jasper. Five of our parks are much smaller than the Rouge. The Rouge has the potential to be over 100 square kilometres. There are still another 30-plus square kilometres of public land out there that could gradually be added.
The Rouge has this amazing potential that you don't want to underestimate by saying, “It's a bit tattered right now, so we won't try to make it into a really beautiful quilt for our country. We'll leave it tattered.”
