Madam Speaker, quite a while back I was a member of the environment committee, and we had a discussion and a report on protecting the amazing spaces in our country. We worked on Rouge National Urban Park in Ontario.
I am a big supporter of protecting nature, and I worked very hard to gain some federal funding for Blue Mountain-Birch Cove in Halifax.
We are a country that is so blessed to have so many great, amazing spaces. Regardless if they are municipal, federal or provincial, we all must work together to protect these spaces. One of the recommendations in the report, which I happened to put forward, was that the federal government not only work with provincial governments but work with municipalities to be able to acquire these incredible spaces, much like the one the hon. member is speaking of.
