Mr. Speaker, I will try to make it quick. I have a national park in my riding, Waterton Lakes National Park, a hidden jewel of the west. We are very proud of it.
The parliamentary secretary mentioned that there will be new parks and that there will be expanded parks. Could he indicate to us whether in the discussions and in the proceedings they talked about jurisdictional overlap and the disputes that have arisen with other levels of government when it comes to developing a park? Is there a new mechanism in place to handle that? Has it been a consideration?
If the intent is to make the parks more efficient and to make the best use of the dollars available, can the member assure us that the user fees that are charged at the parks now are not going to get out of hand? Is there some formula? Is there something in place to assure that the people who are enjoying the parks now will be able to afford to enjoy them in the future?
