Thank you, Chair.
I guess I'll just go back to the experience I have in my province of Saskatchewan, in my riding of Prince Albert, and the impact of what is happening at present.
We heard testimony in the subcommittee from Mr. Orb. He talked about the rigmarole and the process they had to go through to put a culvert into a dry ditch.
There's nobody in Saskatchewan who wants to see any type of reduction in fish habitat. In fact, if you take in my riding, the town of Nipawin has some of the best fishing festivals, with different events, all summer long. They take that very seriously. But what was happening was that we were seeing people going to the nth degree to stop projects that would end up going on anyway. They were adding a considerable amount of cost to a project when there was no reason or rhyme for doing that. That, to me, just explains why some of these changes need to be done.
I wouldn't get too excited about this, thinking that we're going to lose all the fish next year and that we're not going to have anything to fish, because in reality, that's not true. I think the reality is that we're just balancing the act to reflect what it needs to reflect. I think that's what we're seeing here, Chair.
