Mr. Speaker, I really enjoyed the Conservative member's speech because it brought back some happy memories.
That being said, I disagree with him. I am an agronomist and I worked on agricultural watershed projects to improve water quality.
I know that farmers are concerned about water quality, not only in waterways but also in ditches. They are looking for ways to improve it. Changing the legislation is not going to help them in this regard because water flows everywhere. It leaves a ditch and travels to a stream, which flows into a river that leads to the ocean. Everything is connected and interconnected. We have to find solutions to protect fish habitats—solutions other than those proposed by the hon. member.
We have to think about conservation and about compensating farmers.
I would like to know whether the hon. member has anything to suggest that will help farmers while protecting ditches and waterways.
