Mr. Speaker, while I appreciate very much the intent and objectives expressed by the member for Windsor—St. Clair, I do not share his view as to the sinister motivation of the Government of Canada with respect to the legislation.
Is the member aware of the council of environmental ministers agreement in November 1999 when they agreed to honour the need to prohibit bulk water removal? If he is aware of that agreement, how would he propose that we build on that particular agreement to make absolutely certain that bulk water removal will never take place?
