Once again, Mr. Chairman, we have to be very careful. I'm not attributing motives to anyone. Mr. Leboeuf tells me that the objective is not to reduce environmental protections. He's giving us an orientation argument.
I'm trying to do my job as a legislator. I'm looking at Part 20 and I see a reduction. He tells me the exclusions were included in the regulations a year ago and that we're only incorporating them in the act. However, in the same breath, he explains to us that these assessments have been done for 15 years. We can try to see eye to eye. In legislation, we are creating new exclusions and we will entrench them. He said that, over a period of 15 years, we have realized that this was not that serious on the whole. However, he can't convince me that, in the past 15 years, there haven't been any cases in which that was absolutely necessary, hence my claim that this is a reduction.
