I want to thank Mr. McLean for his question.
I did reference the St. Lawrence River and the work of my colleague Alexandre Boulerice on this, and of the many advocates in the St. Lawrence area. I hope we are able to discuss this in more detail in the water study. However, there are a number of places here in Canada. Internationally, there have been huge movements when it comes to expanding these rights to nature and specific bodies of water in particular.
In my home community, the Songhees and Esquimalt first nations have also put out calls to action on reconciliation. One of those calls to action is around recognizing the rights of nature and recognizing nature as living entities, which comes from their world view and cultural experience. This is in support of those movements here in Canada and around the world, and those of nations in my home community as well.
