Mr. Speaker, clearly the government did not hear my question.
The environmental impacts of this industry are not news. The standing committees on natural resources and environment conducted reviews of the impact of the oil sands.
In September the New Democrats issued a detailed report reflecting calls for the exercise of federal powers to regulate and enforce environmental measures. The announced review of water monitoring studies and even the investigation just do not cut it.
When will the government finally assert its powers to clean up the oil sands and protect the Mackenzie watershed?
