Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to underscore an important date for the environment. On June 5, people all over the world will celebrate World Environment Day and Clean Air Day. Unfortunately, environmental issues are usually ignored by the Conservative government.
However, according to a recent study by the consortium Ouranos, inaction on climate change could cost us billions of dollars in health care.
Speaking of the environment, I would like to congratulate the Conseil régional de l'environnement du Centre-du-Québec, the Bloc vert and the Groupe d'aide pour la recherche et l'aménagement de la faune at the École Jean-Raimbault, which are all doing an excellent job in Drummond.
Fortunately, on October 19, 2015, the NDP member for Outremont will make Canada an environmental leader on the world stage.
I want to wish everyone a happy World Environment Day and Clean Air Day.
