Environment Canada, Parks Canada, did a survey about how people would tolerate improved partnerships within national parks. I was concerned that it was code for more human activities and less protection in national parks.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1851234\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have a specific example that you may be able to update me on, and that is the Marmot Basin in Jasper, just as an example. The ski development there would like to take some parkland and do a swap for other land that's at best equal and at worst not as good. Do you know what point that idea has reached? Has that been quashed? Is this still at risk?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1851235\" data-originallang=\"en\">The reason I'm asking is that it's important in its own right, but it's also indicative of whether we are going to hold to the guidelines, which say that any swaps have to result in significant improvement in the status of endangered species.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1851231\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1851232\" data-originallang=\"en\">Une br\u00e8ve question pour Gilles.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1851233\" data-originallang=\"en\">Gilles, ce que j'ai vu r\u00e9cemment m'inqui\u00e8te. Environnement Canada, Parcs Canada, a fait une enqu\u00eate sur la mani\u00e8re dont les gens tol\u00e9reraient des partenariats am\u00e9lior\u00e9s \u00e0 l'int\u00e9rieur des parcs nationaux. J'ai peur que ce soit une mani\u00e8re d\u00e9guis\u00e9e d'envisager plus d'activit\u00e9 humaine et moins de protection dans les parcs nationaux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1851234\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai un exemple pr\u00e9cis \u00e0 vous soumettre, le bassin du ruisseau Marmot \u00e0 Jasper. La station de ski locale voudrait obtenir un terrain faisant partie du parc en \u00e9change d'un autre terrain au mieux \u00e9gal et au pire moins bien. Pouvez-vous me dire o\u00f9 en est cette id\u00e9e? L'a-t-on abandonn\u00e9e? Y a-t-il toujours un risque?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1851235\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vous pose cette question parce qu'elle est importante en soi mais aussi parce qu'elle va nous indiquer si nous allons appliquer rigoureusement les directives qui exigent que tout \u00e9change de terrains doit d\u00e9boucher sur une am\u00e9lioration importante de la situation des esp\u00e8ces menac\u00e9es.</p>"
