Yes. We need to eliminate duplication and we need to set out the responsibility for different aspects of protecting the environment with a tremendous amount of precision. I don't think anyone would suggest that protection of our oceans should be the responsibility of provincial governments as opposed to federal governments. As we develop environmental protection, clearly delineating who's responsible for what is a tremendous service that leaders at both federal and provincial levels can provide us.
