Environment Committee on Sept. 18th, 2024

[Sophie Chatel, Liberal, Pontiac, QC]

Ms. Dufour, you just said something important. I think that you're teaching both the Conservatives and the Quebec government something. We need to work together, as the community is doing, to really come up with innovative solutions. When we work together, solutions emerge and these solutions will benefit your community.

You have the caribou issue. Here, it's another matter. The forest issue is widespread. We need to rethink the forest.

Mr. Jetté, you were talking about this. You give us hope. We must work together to rethink the forest in a sustainable way and to ensure that the children in my constituency and the indigenous communities and Ms. Dufour's children can also have the chance to work in this industry. Can you elaborate on this briefly?

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

Unfortunately, Mr. Jetté, we're out of time. I apologize.

I want to thank the witnesses for taking the time to share their perspectives and life experiences with us.

On that note, we must adjourn the meeting.

[Dan Mazier, Conservative, Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa, MB]

I have just a quick question about the next steps here. Are we going to the study—

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

We'll discuss that on Monday. We have about half an hour for future business.

[Dan Mazier, Conservative, Dauphin—Swan River—Neepawa, MB]

Thank you.

[The Chair, Liberal, Francis Scarpaleggia]

I wish you all a good evening. See you next time.
