Mr. Speaker, I hearken back to when I was in grades 6 and 7. My grade 6 and 7 teacher, Valerie Jerome, sister of Harry Jerome, was the person who first introduced me to what is happening with our climate. Moving forward, I always said that I would take a strong stand.
I walked door to door, ensuring that I listened to my constituents, who said that the environment is the one key issue they want me to drive home. I will continue to do that. That is why I stand by this policy, and that is why I stand on this side: to fight climate change and to fight for my children and grandchildren.
