We will protect our National Parks by limiting development within them.

Real Change: A New Plan For a Strong Middle Class (page 44)

"Parks Canada has rejected the proposed, so-called Mother Canada Memorial. Blair Pardy, the field unit superintendent from Cape Breton, wrote the Friends of Green Cove on Friday, saying that after careful consideration Parks Canada has decided to withdraw from the project. "As a result, the project will not be moving forward on Parks Canada land." […] The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society praised the decision, saying the rejection of the memorial is an important step in putting in place the Liberal government’s election commitment to limit development in Canada’s national parks." (National Observer, February 5, 2016)

"The Government is committed to expanding the national parks and national marine conservation areas systems to ensure each of Canada’s distinct natural regions is protected. It is also committed to developing and expanding programs and services so that more Canadians can experience our national parks and learn about our environment and historic sites." ("Growing The Middle Class" Budget 2016-2017)

"To ensure that visitors are able to enjoy Canada’s national parks for years to come, Budget 2017 proposes to provide up to $364 million over two years on a cash basis, starting in 2018–19, to the Parks Canada Agency to continue its management of national parks, national marine conservation areas and national historic sites. A medium- and long-term plan is under development to ensure ongoing support to these highly valued areas." (Building a strong middle class, March 22, 2017)
