Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for King—Vaughan for her leadership as chair of the environment committee.
Today we observe World Environment Day, and Canada is, for the first time, the host country for this global day of awareness. The theme of this year's World Environment Day, connecting people to nature, encourages us to get outdoors, appreciate healthy ecosystems that contribute to our well-being, and do our part to protect the planet we share. By continuing to work together with a common purpose around the world, including by addressing the critical issue of climate change in the Paris Agreement, we can and will leave our children and grandchildren with a world that is cleaner, healthier, and more prosperous.
