Mr. Speaker, our government is well aware of the health hazards created by the coal-fired electricity generating sector. The regulations that we brought in last year significantly reduced not only greenhouse gases but other toxins. They help us to meet our 2020 Copenhagen emission reduction target, and we are also working with the provinces on a new reduction of industrial emissions through the air quality standards agreement reached with the provinces last November.
In the House of Commons on March 28th, 2013. See this statement in context.
