I just wanted to draw my colleague's attention to the next amendment, NDP-8, which we'll vote on immediately after this one and which I hope answers some of those questions. It would be replacing line 9 on page 4 with the following:
intergenerational equity, according to which it is important to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs;
It's really fleshing out that definition.
I hear that likely this won't address the concern about how future generations are benefiting from some of these issues, but I think it does speak to what the Canadian Environmental Protection Act really needs to do, which is to protect both the people who are living right now and the people who will come after us.
