Something would be done about it immediately. With air pollution there seems to be a completely different attitude. We must change that attitude and change it soon. As Minister of the Environment I can assure you that clean air is my number one priority. All sectors, from industry and transport to global sources, must address this important issue.
Air currents know no international boundaries.
We can not isolate, within Canadian boundaries, what we contribute to world air quality, nor can we resolve, within Canada alone, all the air quality challenges we experience. As your attendance demonstrates, you all recognize the importance of these issues. I commend you on your commitment to finding common solutions to this most vital challenge. It is working for the partners involved and I encourage a larger model that would work for all the delegates present. This is not an impossible task.
