Mr. Speaker, if there are fish floating on the water, then it is because they are dead, and the Conservatives have a problem.
The Conservatives did not keep the promise they made in 2009 when they said that they would hold public consultations before making changes to the Navigable Waters Protection Act.
In my riding, we are lucky to have magnificent waterways that are appreciated by residents and tourists alike: Lac des Seize-Îles, Lac St-Joseph, Lac Simon, Rivière de la Petite-Nation, Rivière du Nord and others.
None of these waterways are on the list of protected lakes and rivers. Why not?
