Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Selkirk--Interlake has been a strong advocate for Lake Winnipeg over the years. As a new member of Parliament, I have always appreciated his work in this area.
The Red River flows through my riding in Winnipeg. This is a matter of utmost importance to the city as well as the rural ridings in Manitoba.
The member for Selkirk—Interlake is as big an expert in this House as we have on these issues. I wonder if he could provide some further insight into the process in which these decisions were adjudicated in the past. Multiple levels of government have been working on this issue, and I wonder if he could give us an analysis.
