Mr. Speaker, it is unusual to have these thoughtful questions coming our way. I appreciate the seriousness of my colleague's question. When I think of the great province of Saskatchewan, one of the first images that comes to mind is the Waskesiu Park, one of the most beautiful in Canada. The member should be proud to live in such a province.
His question is well taken. We lack a national park policy that makes any sense just as we lack a national waterways policy or a national highway policy. Let us think of the value of our national park system and related parks, the value of waterways and the value of highways in Canada compared with any country in the world. It is rather peculiar to think that we do not have a national policy in these areas. The glaring shortcoming, as my friend point out, is well taken. We need to have a national policy to build the kind of legislation that allegedly is attached to the bill.
