Mr. Speaker, I am hoping my colleague can expand upon what is a failure in negotiations. Prime Minister At the time of the announcement, Canada was going to be the first country to pass legislation enabling Britain's accession to the CPTPP. Looking forward, beyond this, we have seen thego and sign a number of agreements. While we support the diversification of trade, what other opportunities, [more]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend my colleague for what was an excellent speech, highlighting the fact that Canada does indeed have what the world wants, but through a suite of Liberal policies over the last 10 years, as he described, we have become an unreliable trading partner and had our port infrastructure and major trade-enabling infrastructure fall apart.

You're saying today that there is—

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to return to the proposed Seal River Watershed national park in northern Manitoba. My question is this: Given that the minister was unclear, who will decide which activities will be permitted, and who will have access if the park is created?

Thank you, Minister. Has Parks Canada identified how many acres of forest require prescribed burning to reduce wildfire risk in national parks across Canada?
