Thank you.
I was specifically going to hit the parks topic because it is near and dear not only to my riding's core interest but I think to many of my colleagues here who really are quite focused on helping our country achieve more. You pointed to the Aichi process, that intergovernmental process that has been undertaken at both a provincial and federal leadership level. That's good news as far as I can see.
What I'm interested to hear is, where will the rubber hit the road with some provinces where there have been challenges in the past in achieving collaboration? The specific example I would point to would be a province that I represent, Quebec, where there have been relatively few co-operative initiatives. One can point to a few examples such as the Saguenay-St. Lawrence Marine Park, or the federal presence in Forillon and Mingan. Apart from that, there is a very limited federal presence. Traditionally, the explanation has been challenges around sovereignty, but I think we may be entering a new collaborative era.
Is Environment Canada and is Parks Canada specifically open to collaboration with the Government of Quebec to achieve joint parks?
