Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for her very interesting speech. I think she understands the major historical trends in international laws and municipal bylaws on environmental protection and pollution control. She agrees that the federal government and the provinces can negotiate in good faith. So why does she conclude there will be a conflict between the two levels of government? We share the same goals.
In this case, I have a question for her: In order to reduce the possibility of conflict, should Quebec not follow in British Columbia's footsteps and negotiate an agreement on fisheries with the federal government? Why not? This might resolve the problems she raised with respect to the administration and purpose of this bill.
