Madam Speaker, I thank the member for his question.
Canada's methane regulations will help protect the health of Canadians by improving the air we breathe. Emissions of harmful cancer-causing air toxins and smog-forming pollutants that are often found with methane emissions will be reduced. Common air pollutants emitted from oil and gas production are volatile organic compounds, which are linked to a variety of serious public health effects, including lung problems, asthma attacks and early death resulting from respiratory and cardiovascular complications, and that is why we are taking action.
