Mr. Speaker, the premise of that question is false.
As far as I know, the minister's riding is in the St. Lawrence River area, and that is on the list. That is completely false. This list is based on scientific data and statistics collected for years. It includes waterways that are navigable, and not a small creek or stream, as the NDP would like. When we think of water, we do not automatically think of navigation.
Yes, we will protect the environment. We will be focusing on navigation, as we are currently doing.
