Mr. Chair, I am glad to see that the government is considering things with respect to being charter-proof. That's welcome behaviour. It doesn't always happen.
I also want to note that there's a schedule at the end of the legislation as to what waterways we are speaking of. I encourage the government to continue down this path of protecting as many waterways as they can for the environment. As we know, there has been a departure from that in domestic policy with the amendments we are looking at in the budget implementation bill. If this is indeed what the intent is, to ensure there is protection environmentally of our waterways according to schedules that are fulsome, I would encourage they follow this behaviour. I would encourage them to amend their own budget implementation bill with respect to the Navigable Waters Protection Act.
