I'd like to bring you to my constituency to see the Lake of the Prairies reservoir and the significant walleye fishery that has developed because of that reservoir.
Ms. Nowlan, one thing I find consistent among the environmental activist groups is the desire to reduce the ability of the minister to decide public policy. The World Wildlife Fund said that before us, and the Ecology Action Centre said that before us.
On page 5 of your brief, you say, “limit the Ministers’ regulatory powers”. What is it about environmental activist groups that they want to remove the powers of elected officials to make decisions on behalf of citizens who vote? To me that's a recommendation against democracy. Can you explain that?
