Mr. Speaker, I took part in last Saturday's launch of G3E's summer season with a fishing for all event on the Beauport River.
For over 30 years, the water education and eco-monitoring group G3E has exemplified civic engagement in protecting Quebec's aquatic environments. This innovative organization has developed an extensive network and impactful programs. G3E uses science and passion to provide water education and monitoring tools, supported by over 269 adopted rivers to date. These initiatives reach nearly 39,000 students and 35 community groups, and they have restored more than 409 kilometres of riverbanks and collected 270 tonnes of waste.
G3E's approach is rooted in openness, integrity, innovation and excellence, while fostering dialogue, respecting knowledge and upholding scientific rigour and transparency in everything that it does.
