Mr. Speaker, just hours before the May long weekend, Parks Canada blindsided my region by banning motorized boats on Clear Lake after confirming access a week earlier. There was no consultation or warning. Locals care deeply about the lake, which is why the agency's “one boat, one lake” policy had broad support. When asked what suddenly changed, Parks Canada refused to justify its damning decision, which caused whiplash in the region.
Will the minister reinstate the “one boat, one lake” policy that Parks Canada supported just weeks ago?
