Mr. Perras, Mr. MacTavish, Mr. Garand, good afternoon. As you know, we are studying Bill C-37. You must certainly have looked at the bill itself. When I ask you questions, it is to provoke debate in order to ensure that when we take the next steps, we will be able to improve this bill to ensure that it respects the mandate we wish to give it as legislators.
Having said that, I have in my possession a letter from the Meech Lake Association from 2004. This residents' association is asking that parking lot 12 be closed, so that the public could no longer have access to Blanchette Beach because there were too many people using it, to the detriment of the people of Chelsea. That being said, it is still in the park.
Is it part of your philosophy, of your approach as far as Gatineau Park is concerned, and in the eyes of your residents' associations, that private enclaves should exist?
