Yes, you're absolutely right. There are going to be areas where people continue to compromise their health. But this is an area in which you as government can give people health. That's a pretty incredible opportunity, in my view.
The thing is, you're right. There are always going to be people who throw themselves off cliffs, who climb Mount Everest, who smoke and risk their health. Sometimes their health is put at risk by someone else, and those are injustices, and we work on them. But in environmental cases, there is a certain poignant injustice.
I'm going to speak now as a mother, because I have a child who is one of these vulnerable populations. I have a child with severe disabilities. We live downtown, because he uses a wheelchair, and downtown, things are accessible. Two years ago he started developing acute respiratory crises, and I have seen him fight for his life in the emergency room, all the while knowing that traffic-related air pollution could well be part of the cause.
That's not right. We can do better than that in Canada.
