Mr. Speaker, the changes made to the Navigable Waters Protection Act are unacceptable.
The Conservatives want to prevent people who hunt and fish from freely accessing Canada's natural resources. That is an acquired right that dates back to Confederation. The NDP proposed an amendment to remove that measure from Bill C-10. Unfortunately, the Liberals agree with the Conservatives on this issue.
Why should people who hunt and fish be deprived of those activities, which are already carefully monitored and regulated?
