I thank the member for Denison for his question. Of course he has a perfect right to bring petitions to this parliament on any subject at any time, and I respect the member's commitment to the environment. But I do say, in response to the member for Denison, that I too am a conservationist and I regard myself as as much of a conservationist as any member of this parliament.
