Mr. Speaker, Canada's environment commissioner tabled his third report in a row which slams the Liberal government's environment record.
The entire Liberal government and its cabinet share this disgrace: the finance minister for a program review that cancelled environment as a priority, the industry minister for putting business interests ahead of ecosystem protection, and the health minister for refusing to identify toxic chemicals which poison Canada's children.
The commissioner states that “we are paying the price in terms of our health and our legacy for future generations”.
What does all this talk and no action mean for Canadians? Dangerous chemicals are found in the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and children are left in toxic sites.
The Standing Committee on the Environment shared the commissioner's concern and told the government to enforce the laws which protect Canada and its environment and not buckle to industry demands.
The Prime Minister and the Liberal cabinet are the prime suspects for destroying our environment and harming our health.
