Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Drowning is the second leading cause of preventable death for children under 10 years of age in Canada. We can, we must, we need to do what is right and not what is easy, to prevent further tragedy at our territorial park beaches.
In reference to my Member’s statement earlier today, I want to ask the Minister responsible for our territorial beaches to do the right thing and bring our lifeguards back.
Since many of us have not read the soon-to-be tabled report from the Lifesaving Society of Alberta, could the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment quickly walk us through some of the highlights that he shared earlier today in a press release, so that he can ease the minds of many concerned about water safety at our territorial beach parks? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
