Mr. Speaker, a consultation report entitled "Environmental Industry Strategy for Canada" was released by the Minister of the Environment and indicates that a network of three national environmental technology advancements centres will be created in western Canada, Ontario and Quebec. These centres will form the cornerstone of the federal government's environmental industry strategy. The report indicates the process by which employment opportunities for Canadians would be maximized.
I bring to the attention of the Minister of the Environment that Saint John, New Brunswick, is the industrial centre of Atlantic Canada. I would ask her to consider Saint John as a place for one of these centres to help us to maximize our environmental problems and to work them out.
