Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank the honourable Minister for his answer, but I do not think he quite answered me because he is telling me some of the things he is doing, but I want to know if the government has a strategy of some sort for dealing with this growing concern in the North of protecting our environment from pollution from outside our borders.
I am going to ask a series of questions. I want to know if there is an overall plan of action, for example on dealing with the pollution in the water from pulp mills, in the air currents and so forth. To me the government should have an overall plan and strategy in addressing these issues. Going after a specific pulp mill in Alberta and taking them to court is like a band-aid solution. If you lose it you lose it, but if you win, it might be a good victory. But there are a series of pulp mills in the South that are contributing to the pollution in the North. Is there an overall plan that the government has that would address this concern?
