Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thank you, colleagues, for your support. I would like to make it perfectly clear that in no way are we stopping development by this motion. We know there are 30 trillion cubic feet of gas in Prudhoe Bay that has to go to market, and it will go to market. The same thing in reverse, the oil and gas in the Beaufort Delta is also a resource. There are already existing routes in place.

As Canadians and as Americans, we have to look at this, not at who is going to get to it first. I think we have to realize that we have these resources in the ground but, again, I would like to stipulate my position clearly. I cannot see Americans or Canadians allowing any development in calving areas or in national parks that are protected refuges. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is protected under legislation, under law, to protect the ecosystem. The national parks in Canada are there on a similar basis.

I would like to ensure that we do not allow the opening up of our national parks to be decimated because of development or economic goals of people or groups of people.

With that, I would like to ask, Mr. Speaker, if we could have a recorded vote. Thank you.
