Mr. Speaker, there is plenty of opportunity for negotiation going forward with respect to the timing, the depth, and the how.
Why would one put a motion forward to examine a particular watershed? Because my 30 years of environmental legal experience have taught me that we need to ground truth, this kind of example in practical ways so Canadians can understand, and they do understand. This is a way to build a council that can be replicated. It can build on the wonderful experiences, for example, of the Fraser Basin Council, of what happened in Lake Winnipeg, of what is going on throughout Quebec with its watershed management approach, which is extremely progressive.
It is not so much the localization of this watershed as it is a study that can be used and extrapolated right across the country.
