Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his important question.
As far as river areas, rivers and the St. Lawrence are concerned, it is actually somewhat complicated. It is a bit complicated. For example, the surface of the water, what is under the water, the shoreline and the animal species that live there all fall under different jurisdictions. It is rather difficult to keep track. I quite agree with my colleague that we should simplify things. Right now, with the municipalities, the province, the Quebec government and the federal government sharing jurisdictions, it is really complicated and no one can really figure it out.
