Mr. Speaker, it is my honour and pleasure to rise today in the House of Commons on behalf of many residents, including the Friends of Wye Marsh in Midland, Ontario, who recognize that Canada holds 24% of the world's forests, over 20% of the world's fresh waters, three oceans and all the plants and animals that go in these ecosystems. These individuals are calling on the government to work with indigenous rights holders to protect more land, prevent degradation of the environment by holding companies responsible when they are doing work and, of course, to increase the amount of land that it conserves. I appreciate that and submit that to the House with great pleasure today.
In the House of Commons on April 20th, 2026. See this statement in context.
