Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of the Environment.
Louisiana-Pacific's OSB plant and harvest plan in Manitoba is under review by the province. There have been claims of errors and omissions in the entire existing process. There have been calls for an environmental impact for the entire escarpment area. There appear to be federal triggers in place including aboriginal land interests and fish habitat.
Does the Minister of the Environment have the opinion that the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act is applicable in this case? Is she prepared to take the steps necessary to see that a joint federal-provincial assessment is done?
