When you regulate and enforce in the environmental area, it would be a mistake to say that this will immediately solve all problems. We have a Criminal Code, but we still have crime. What this is is a major effort, a major step forward to demonstrate that this is a huge priority, not just for the Government of Canada but for Canadians. And this law being passed by Parliament, and then proclaimed, and then enforced, each will be big steps on a journey to do more in the Arctic so we don't repeat the same mistakes we made in the Great Lakes or in other parts of this planet. There are a lot of pristine areas that are relatively environmentally clean, and we want to ensure they stay that way.
So this is not the be-all and end-all. This will not solve every unanticipated problem, but I think it is a big step forward. Once it's passed, the next big step forward that will be required is adequate surveillance and enforcement, which will be other steps that we take in the journey.
In respect to environmental protection in the north, we moved forward on the East Arm, we moved forward on the Ramparts, we moved forward on Nahanni, and we moved forward on the whale sanctuary in Nunavut. None of those individually was a gigantic step, but collectively they mark a significant environmental agenda and protection. This is just part of that.
