Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question.
We do not understand this insistence on including ecological integrity. I am no expert. However, I think that the majority of the people here in the House want to ensure that this park is functional, used, open to the public, and that it protects nature.
However, we are not going to accomplish that with the phrase “ecological integrity”. This is disputed among experts.
Can we not just trust the people on the ground who have hands-on experience, who are saying that this is unrealistic? We can achieve the same objectives, but let us not go down this road.
We are getting accustomed to the Liberals always blowing smoke in order to hoodwink people and please Liberal Party cronies.
