Absolutely, and I think we need to realize and give credit where credit is due. Those are the individuals who are working most closely with the public. As I said, they meet them on the street; they see them day to day.
We can come here. It's a little easier to have the distance. Those municipal leaders are right there, and I think we need to give credit to that and we need to give them basically the power to do what they're doing and not discredit them and say, “No, we want to be able to approve it.” They know what they're talking about. They're dealing with individuals. So I am pleased to hear you are having and continuing with the collaboration.
We've had a few different witnesses who have been here. Some of them have said they want Gatineau Park to be a national park and some have said they don't want it to be a national park. Some have said they want it to be a national park with all the benefits but none of the responsibilities. So we're hearing a few different messages.
My concern and my question for you is this. With your approach to conservation and protecting the ecological integrity of Gatineau Park, how would that protection be compromised or different if it were a national park? Can you just talk a little bit about the differences?
