Mr. Speaker, one of the most obvious factors in determining health is the environment. Our government is the first government at the federal level to recognize this. In fact, the Canadian Medical Association said yesterday:
--the government appears to be on the right track....that reason, the Clean Air Act could prove to be a significant first step in improving the health of Canadians.
Also, the founder of the environmental group Healthy Indoors Partnership has called this a landmark decision, a very positive development.
We are moving forward simply beyond lip service to the notion of addressing, finally, the determinants of health instead of the legacy of 13 years of inaction--
