March 23, 1979 (30th Parliament, 4th Session)

Mr. Marchand:

No, I did not say that, Mr. Speaker. There are certain acts of government that we administer directly, one of which, as the hon. member knows, is the Ocean Dumping Control Act. The Environmental Contaminants Act and the Canada Water Act are others. We have some of them; but in certain situations I am sure the hon. member does not want me to have all the authority relating to pollution under the Transport Act.
