I'm philosophically opposed to user fees because I think Canadians pay for the park already through their taxes. I'm opposed to anything that would limit access or constrict or reduce access of the public to their park.
You see, the fundamental philosophy, if you read what Percy Sparks said about Gatineau Park, he said essentially that they were creating a park close to the capital for the people, because only the rich could go to Banff or to Jasper or to other parks at the time.
Especially considering that it's the cornerstone of a great memorial dedicated to the 42,000 soldiers who died in World War II defending our democratic values, and it's the park of the Canadian capital, I think the park should bend over backwards to be democratic.
Some people want user fees; some people don't want cars in the park. You look at what some of the residential associations are saying, and that's what they want. They want to preserve their private park and keep the people out. So I'm saying make it public first, and user fees if necessary, but not necessarily user fees.
There, that's a good liberal response.
