I'm conscious of this bill's specific focus on environmental racism. I think it's appropriate to profile it in that way. Does the Government of Canada need to take broader action on environmental justice? Absolutely. It would really be a tragedy if this became an either-or conversation. I would encourage the Government of Canada and the committee to move forward boldly with a specific attention to environmental racism, as well as with broader measures to bring better governance around environmental justice in Canada.
