Mr. Speaker, Canadians are custodians to one of the most pristine natural environments in the world in our far Arctic. This government gives great priority to that file, which is why, just in this Parliament alone, we extended the environmental laws in our transportation sector to an additional 100 nautical miles offshore. We accord it a great priority.
This government has established whale sanctuaries in our far north and have quadrupled the size of Nahanni National Park.
We have no intention whatsoever of reducing environmental protections in the Beaufort Sea.
