I would say we've made it very clear that the health of Canadians is what will guide our environmental agenda. I made that clear when I talked about the fact that we know the number one priority for Canadians is air quality. We are concerned about the impact of air pollution on the health of Canadians.
I also indicated, as you know, that we do not have proper reporting and monitoring mechanisms in Canada right now for air quality objectives. We do not have national standards or national objectives because we do not have a national framework.
This will be the first time the federal government will embark on a comprehensive approach from a national perspective to dealing with the issue of air pollution and greenhouse gases. It is an ambitious achievement, and it's an ambitious agenda.
When Canada's clean air act is tabled, I ask all the members of this committee to work with us to make sure the proper compliance mechanisms are put in place. We need to work with our counterparts around the House to show Canadians this is a priority not only for our government but for all of us.
