I don't believe your bill covers pipelines. I'll make that statement and I'll be bringing it up with the Munk School as well.
Nothing in this bill stops a province from building a pipeline from a non-boundary water into the United States. I don't think this bill covers that. I would mention that the Canadian Alliance did not believe that NAFTA protected water in its natural state, and as you know, I've brought this up before.
Your Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs said so in a speech when he was with the Canadian Alliance. He said we have to reopen NAFTA because it doesn't protect our water in its natural state.
I would add that the U.S. Department of Commerce doesn't think water in its natural state is protected either.
I think there are many problems. I congratulate you on this effort.
