Environment committee  Great. Thanks. I appreciate that. I think Ms. Sitsabaiesan is going to do NDP-2.

Environment committee  I hear what you're saying. I still am left with...it's not even a feeling; I believe a lot of these things need to be worked out in the legislation and not in the management plan. I believe we're smart people in this room.

Environment committee  Is it only in the National Parks Act?

Environment committee  Great. Thank you all, and thank you, Mr. Latourelle, for your opening remarks. I found them very useful in explaining and laying some things out for us.
