Mr. Speaker, with respect to the Canadian parks agency, the term Canadian parks is a change. It is now known as Parks Canada. How much money is going to be spent to advertise Canadian parks? Will the the letterhead, logos and signs be changed? Some people went into a flap about the beaver as our national parks logo. Is that going to be changed?
The chief executive officer has exclusive rights. In terms of user fees the minister only has to consult someone she thinks is interested in user fees. It could be the chief executive officer. He would be interested. That is all that is required in the act, whoever is interested, deemed by the minister.
I am interested. I live in Beauval, Saskatchewan. My children are also interested about what happens in Banff and Waterton. These are wonderful Canadian parks for Canadians. We are interested but we will not be consulted.
I think we should take a second look at this agency, the powers we are giving to it and the future of the legacy of our national parks.
