Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the comments made by my colleague from Alfred-Pellan.
In our discussion here, we have talked a lot about the importance of the protection of species. Although we do support this bill, a lot of work remains to be done. This government can create all the parks it wants, but without funding and without strong protections for ecological integrity, that designation is virtually meaningless.
Can my colleague talk about that a little more? How important is it to have the necessary funds to ensure proper protection and make things better?
