Mr. Speaker, the theme for Environment Week this year is the automobile's impact on air quality.
Car emissions are a major cause of smog and climate change.
Smog and air pollution not only threaten a healthy environment but also the health of all Canadians. Maintaining vehicles in good working order will reduce the impact of emissions. Therefore, Environment Canada is holding emission clinics across the country. This week gives Canadians an opportunity to find better ways to keep their environment healthy for present and future generations. According to this year's theme, instead of driving we should opt for walking, cycling, car pooling, and using public transportation.
