Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would note that in reading through the amendments and some of the discussions, and to emphasize Mr. McLean's point, even some of our witnesses this past week have emphasized how racism can be a factor, but a person of colour or indigenous person can have a multitude of factors. I think addressing this from a more comprehensive perspective is a valuable approach for trying to accomplish what the bill intends. That also doesn't limit it to one particular aspect of some of the challenges faced by Canadians.
I agree, as well, that the whole definition of “environmental justice” needs to be very well defined in the broader picture. I hear from constituents—I don't exaggerate when I say “on a daily basis”—who are furious with the current plan that leaves.... Whether it will be defined as the just transition, or whatever the case is, they feel left out. Certainly, there have to be some clear definitions to ensure what the bill's intent is. We want to make sure it can actually accomplish that.
I think Madam Pauzé has endeavoured to do so. I am not bilingual, but I certainly value some of the comments she made about trying to find a way to ensure that essence is captured.
