Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her speech.
The many urban parks in the Montreal area are not really interconnected and, unfortunately, there are not that many natural areas.
However, there are still some special spots, particularly in my riding, that run along the St. Lawrence River. For example, there are the Lachine Rapids and the adjacent Parc des Rapides.
I find the Rouge Park initiative very interesting. We need to think about the long-term protection of these particular areas, which will also be outdoor schools. This will enable urban residents to enjoy nature and give them access to interpretation centres focusing on these ecologically rich and historical areas.
Could the member talk about the importance of a park such as the Rouge Park for the greater Toronto area?
