Thank you, Madam Chair.
I thank all our witnesses.
Before I start asking my questions, I want to provide some context on what I think about the issue and explain why this matter is important to me. I have been an avid outdoorsman for a long time. To give you an idea of how important Canadian heritage and especially Parks Canada, are to me, let me say that, for our honeymoon, more than three decades ago, my wife and I visited all the national parks in one summer, which took us more than two months. So I am very familiar with those parks. I am very familiar with heritage sites. I have an amateur interest in history in general. You now understand what this issue means to me.
I was shocked and saddened to read in the Auditor General's report that it wasn't even possible to make a complete list of heritage properties belonging to each department. I heard what you just said, Mr. Nadler, and I know this issue focuses on three institutions: Parks Canada, National Defence and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
Can Fisheries and Oceans Canada give us a complete list of heritage properties it currently owns?
