Mr. Speaker, I will not in the next 60 seconds be able to do justice to the accomplishments of Dr. David Suzuki.
Scientist, geneticist, broadcaster, author, educator and activist, David Suzuki has been a recipient of the highest citizen award in this country, the Companion of the Order of Canada. He has received awards from universities around the world too numerous to mention; awards from Japan, Australia, throughout Europe and from UNESCO and the United Nations; and the so-called alternative Nobel Prize, the Right Livelihood Award.
As host of The Nature of Things for decades, he educated generations of Canadians, making and increasing our awareness that nature itself is a miracle.
He has been, in his personal life, a devoted husband, father, grandfather and now great-grandfather.
David Suzuki is much loved by millions of Canadians, and for good reason.
His 90th birthday is today, and I wish him a happy birthday.
