I just have to say something, I would like to speak to the motion. Under the current act, the Minister has the authority to establish such a park, and the proposed change in the bill is primarily a wording change. The term "Historical Park" becomes "Heritage Park" to bring it in line with language use in the affected areas strategy. The expectation is that future heritage parks would be of similar size and nature to a mission park. Under the proposed amendment, consultation with the affected community will be required before a heritage park can be established. Based on the demonstration of local support, given the local nature of an historic park, we still think that the Minister should retain the authority to establish a heritage park. So the other way around is that we're going to have to go through the Legislative Assembly every time we want to establish a heritage park. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just in reference to the motion, the reason committee has proposed this and wants to pursue it and move forward with it, agrees with what the Minister said about changing the classification. But I would also point out that in fact heritage parks are not just what is in the old act under historic parks. It has been developed to the degree that committee feels there is a need to bring establishment of these parks and consultation on development of those parks back to the Assembly. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The committee has proposed another amendment, that clause 7 of Bill 2 be deleted and the following be substituted:
7. Section 15 is amended by
(a) striking out "la mise en valeur" in the French version of paragraph (c) and by substituting "l'amenagement"'
(b) striking out "and" at the end of paragraph (f); and
(c) adding the following after paragraph (f):
(f.1) amending the definition "motor vehicle" as set out in subsection 13(2) to exclude motor vehicles or certain types of motor vehicles in respect of a particular Territorial Park or part of a Territorial Park; and
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Just for the record, I would like to say that signs are currently used to mark areas in the park and to let people know where motor vehicles may be used. Signage for motorized wheelchairs is proposed, as opposed to exemptions, that will allow RWED to designate different areas for different kinds of motorized vehicles. For example, signage would indicate that motorized wheelchairs may used on paths, while cars and trucks would be restricted to roads. This approach is preferable to creating regulations to exempt the use of motorized wheelchairs in territorial parks. Mahsi.
