Please be assured, Minister, that we are going to work on that, that is the purpose of the exercise. I agree with you on that.
Decisions were made by Treasury Board. On September 15, 1988 and September 29, 2008, because of budget cuts, instructions were given to the NCC to divest itself of excess lands. You have been a member of Treasury Board and know that the dominant concerns are financial rather than environmental, especially when it comes to the NCC and the preservation of ecological and environmental heritage.
Could Treasury Board once again impose this type of direction on the NCC, against which the bill would be of no use?
