Brownfield cleanups have tremendous potential. I'm very excited about this review. Brownfields redevelopment protects our environment and health while serving as a catalyst to community building and the revitalization of our neighbourhoods. It uses existing infrastructure and, as we all know, the environment is the ultimate infrastructure. We see you as a key partner because you have leading-edge expertise in site remediation, restoration services and technologies.
Clean air is another essential part of our environmental vision.
We've made a lot of progress this year with initiatives such as monitoring and reporting regulations, and emissions caps. We've got a lot of momentum going in each of these areas, and we want to build on that momentum in addressing climate change. Governments, industry and individual citizens around the world are increasingly engaged in discussions about climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The reality behind much of the talk, however, is a big struggle with the diplomatic intricacies that go with this issue. We're working on the national and international stage by joining the federal government at the Hague in November in support of a Canadian contribution to the solution.
