Mr. Speaker, the NDP has fought to have invasive carp eliminated before getting into Canada's tributaries and lakes. New Democrats fought to get the first microplastics ban passed in the House of Commons, which was then made into regulation. As well, we have fought to get some of the programs to deal with phosphorus.
One of the ones I have yet to get finished and still want to work on, and on which I want the members' opinions, is an action plan for the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway, for the rise and also the falling of the water levels that take place, so we would know where to dredge, where we would do remedial action and so forth. That would take collaboration between the cities, the provinces and the federal government in the United States. It would also provide a list of business items to make sure our waterways are protected not only for the environment but also for the economy to remain strong.
I wonder what the Conservatives' position is on that suggestion, in terms of creating a business plan to deal with the rise and the fall of water levels in the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway.
