Mr. Speaker, certainly what the consultation process heard was the option for protection in this watershed area. That is what was said. That is what was agreed on and that was not delivered by the government.

We should be taking the best because we need to send that message.
In the House of Commons on November 6th, 2014. See this statement in context.
