[The Environment, May 27th, 1999]

Mr. Speaker, I would like to repeat the statement I made a little while ago announcing 81 projects under our toxic substance research initiative which will include research on mercury and other metals in the environment.

Canada was the first country in the world to ratify a UN ECE protocol on heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants in the atmosphere.

The government is taking a leadership role worldwide on these very important issues. I think we should—

[The Environment, May 27th, 1999]

Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to say that earlier this afternoon the Minister of Health and myself were able to announce the first tranche of projects approved under our toxic management research initiative, $10.9 million to 81 projects across the country that many hundreds of scientists will be implicated in.

This will help the government to better understand the effects of toxic substances on our environment and human health. It is a very important initiative looking at persistent organic pollutants, endocrine disrupting substances, metals in the environment and urban air quality.

moved:

That Bill C-32, in the preamble, be amended by replacing lines 46 to 48 on page 2 and line 1 on page 3 with the following:

“trol and management of the risk of any adverse effects of the use and release of toxic substances, pollutants and wastes, and the virtual elimination of persistent and bioaccumulative toxic substances;

Whereas the Government of Canada recognizes the need to protect the environment, including its biological diversity, and human health, by ensuring the safe and effective use of biotechnology;”

[The Environment, May 26th, 1999]

Mr. Speaker, the government has demonstrated that it is very concerned about the management of toxic substances in our environment.

In the last two budgets we committed over $82 million to the research and management of toxic substances. Bill C-32, the renewed Canadian Environmental Protection Act, will go further in protecting our environment. We will be able to analyze 23,000 substances currently in use in the country and use prevention planning to eliminate them. We will use virtual elimination to get rid of the most toxic substances.

[The Environment, May 25th, 1999]

Mr. Speaker, the government welcomes the report of the commissioner for the environment and sustainable development and certainly I do. It is very important to this government that we protect the environment for the sake of the environment itself and human health to the highest level.

Many departments in the government work together in science and research and in setting policy. We have a senior committee of departments of the government that will work together to put an action plan in place in response to the commissioner's report this year to protect Canadian health and the environment.

[The Environment, May 25th, 1999]

Mr. Speaker, the government is very concerned about the threat of toxic substances in the country, both their effects on the environment and on human health.

That is why we are bringing in new CEPA legislation, environmental protection legislation, which will cause companies to prevent pollution from toxic substances.

That is why we have brought in new regulations to promote better voluntary commitment to dealing with toxic substances.

That is why the government has brought forward $80 million in the last two budgets to deal with the management and the science around the use of toxic substances.

We will make sure that industries and all Canadians comply with our legislation.
