Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his remarks. Unfortunately, I do not share some of his views.
As far as environmental matters are concerned, does he believe we can get the toothpaste back in the tube?
Given that 99% of lakes and rivers will no longer be protected and that the impact on ecosystems is measured in the medium and long terms, it will be incredibly difficult to correct the situation once the damage is done.
What does he think of the fact that future generations may have to deal with polluted rivers and lakes?
