Mr. Speaker, it is not just strange, it is bizarre. It truly is. I understand that the member for Drummond brought this motion mostly in good faith, but one has to extrapolate what we are actually talking about here. This is the thin edge of the wedge from the NDP, shutting down all traffic in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. I say again that 3,000 ships pass through this habitat every single year, so all the rest of these ships, I assume, are a risk to the habitat as well.
Again, I go back to the question from my Liberal colleague. There was collaboration between the Government of Canada and the Province of Quebec.
What we need here is a clear debate on a real issue, but let us be clear that there is no application at this point.
