Mr. Speaker, how interesting that the debate has come around to economic development. My question is about sustainable development.
Government members talk about Canada's prosperity, economic development and so on, but does this document contain a genuine vision for sustainable development?
There are two aspects to sustainable development. First, there is the environment, because permafrost and other factors call for different construction techniques in the north than elsewhere. Second, social factors and the people who live in the north are also very important.
Can my colleague comment on these aspects?
