Mr. Speaker, today Canadians celebrate Earth Day with tree plantings and environmental events across our vast country. More than ever before we must as individuals and as a country take responsibility to preserve our planet for future generations.
Allow me to present Erie riding's must list. We must work together to prevent toxic chemicals from entering our air, soil and water resources and to eliminate pollution of every nature everywhere. We must protect our ocean habitats and fish stocks. We must harvest our forests prudently taking care to preserve old growth areas. We must undertake extraction of our mining resources with minimal effect on our fragile ecosystem. We must take all measures necessary to protect our endangered plants and animals. We must use our energy sources wisely and efficiently. Finally, we must contribute to an international plan to reduce global warming.
We have so much to do and so little time. I urge all Canadians to make every day Earth Day.
