Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for his speech and for his advocacy on this. It is so important that we not only acknowledge but also actually reduce the impact of shipping on these important corridors.
My colleague from Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie has also put forward a bill that would grant legal protections, rights of nature, to the St. Lawrence River. We are facing a climate emergency, which is having devastating impacts; we also know that human activity and other economic activity is having an impact on these areas.
Can the member speak to his support, or not, for the idea of granting rights to nature and to the St. Lawrence River?
