Mr. Speaker, today, May 4, is World Asthma Day. Today also marks the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Lung Association.
We are reminded that each year an estimated 5,000 people die untimely deaths due to poor air quality. Thousands more are being treated for bronchitis, asthma and other breathing problems. This coming summer will be no exception.
Can the Minister of the Environment tell the House what progress is being made to make the air we breathe better for all Canadians?
