Mr. Speaker, I disagree with the premise of the hon. member when she said there are projects that will not go through an environmental assessment. All projects have environmental assessment.
In direct answer to her question about the Marmot Basin ski area site guidelines for development and use, those site guidelines for development and use were approved by Parks Canada in 2008. They were prepared in collaboration with Marmot Basin, including a comprehensive public participation program and completion of a strategic environmental assessment, the very environmental assessment the hon. member asked about.
A long-range plan for the Marmot Basin ski area in Jasper National Park of Canada is being developed. There will be opportunities for public involvement in the long-range planning process, and at the end of the process, the long-range plan will be submitted to the Minister of the Environment for approval.
