Mr. Speaker, I do not think anything could be further from the truth. In fact, there are some groups that would argue that the legislation for the protection of species at risk is not strong enough. Given that we have not yet seen it, I am not sure how anyone could make that judgment.
The fact is that the work of that working group has concerned itself with the needs of woodlot owners, agricultural producers and so on, as well as the need to balance all of those interests to produce legislation that will work in co-operation with the federal government, the provincial governments and private property owners. The work of the working group has very much guided the development of the legislation.
