Mr. Speaker, I know my colleague is very concerned about parks, and particularly the beautiful area of the country that he is from in the Kootenays.
I certainly know that we will always have to invest in maintenance in the parks. Our national parks are the envy of the world.
I point out to the hon. member that in fact we should be congratulated for adding new parks. We should be congratulated for preserving the pristine wilderness in our country.
I would hope that the member knows, because I know he has a great interest in this area, that we are providing the necessary dollars. We are working toward making sure that not only these new parks but our existing parks continue to be a welcoming place for Canadians, that those parks will stay in pristine condition in the wilderness.
