Mr. Speaker, the member's allegations are false. Moreover, if he wants the investigation to be conducted properly, it must not be interfered with.
But if he means that an investigation should be conducted independently from the Canadian government, Environment Canada has the responsibility to carry on environmental impact assessments, and we do not want to avoid our responsibilities, we want to take them the same way we did when we became the first government to tackle this ecological time bomb.
I would like to point out that the RCM of Îles-de-la-Madeleine, the fishermen of the Magdalen Islands-
The fishermen of Prince Edward Island, of Atlantic Canada, support the position of the government. I only wish the Bloc would help us to rid ourselves of this ecological time bomb.
