Thank you.
You raised a number of great points. If you look at it historically, there has been a lot of effort put into the creation of national parks, not just in Canada but in the United States, and they've gone through a lot of pains. The creation of the first parks in the United States encountered some of the same problems that happened here with respect to Gatineau Park and, assuredly, other parks in Canada. That is the conflict between users and also the conflict between the public and private owners, because if you go anywhere there is going to be development. People are going to live somewhere, and they live in Gatineau Park right now.
Again, what was supposed to be the first national park east of the Rockies was never created as a national park essentially because of a battle. It comes down to a Hatfield-McCoy situation: the private owners against the public, and the private owners won out.
If you know anything about Gatineau Park, there are three main lakes. Well, there are four, but there are three contiguous lakes--Lac Philippe, Lac Mousseau, and Lac Meech. The people on Lac Philippe were expropriated.
