Mr. Speaker, let us talk about planning in two ways. In terms of creating a stable regime for the parks, like so many other government agencies Parks Canada has been subject to tremendous pressures through downsizing. This has been a difficult period for Parks Canada. That period is over. The thought now is to create a regime which will give the parks a better chance for stability by allowing them for example to keep moneys at the end of the year which they have made through their various ancillary activities.
The actual efficiency aspects will be coming in to place as soon as the act is passed. In terms of planning in the grander sense as to how we complete our national parks system, I think that as I suggested in my speech this law indirectly will allow that to happen by providing more money and a more stable regime. In that way we can either complete existing parks or get on with the new ones a bit faster.
