Madam Speaker, the young people of Canada should be concerned about the environment and the work we do that might in any way bring it under some concern.
That is exactly why for the last four years the government has continued to invest record amounts of money, working with the provinces to invest in the research that is needed to advance technologies. We know we need to use technology to come to grips with issues like greenhouse gas emissions.
We have signed onto the agreements, worldwide, from Copenhagen. We will ensure that environmental protection continues to be a standard that will be in place as we grow and create opportunities for young people. The two have to be dealt with at the same time.
This is a government that has expanded parks and has a record of cleaning up lakes. It has taken the investments that are needed to actually make concrete interventions to improve Canada's environment.
We will stay on that track, but we also have to work with our partners in municipalities and provinces to ensure regulations are strong but also workable.
