Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Gentlemen, clause 10.4(2) reads as follows: “The Commission shall give due regard to the maintenance of the ecological integrity [...] of any property of the Commission [...]”

All Quebeckers and Canadians would like the NCC to maintain and rehabilitate Gatineau Park. We have to do a little more than simply wait, hope or give due regard to the park. The NCC has to have this responsibility with respect to the park. Should the park be damaged, the NCC has to be able to rehabilitate it and provide stewardship.

Would you agree that the NCC should be responsible for maintaining and rehabilitating the park?
