It's something which is enshrined in your constitution. Everyone in this country has the right to live in a healthy and clean environment. I know that this is a right you take very seriously. The National Environmental Commission has shown that it is more than willing to make tough and firm decisions when the preservation of the environment is at stake. This is a start.
Good legislation is an important prerequisite for a healthy, green and sustainable environment.
But it isn't always enough. This is why Canadian firms are here. We are committed to working in partnership with you to match your needs with the best technology. Companies, like Seacor Environmental Engineering of Vancouver, are already doing this. New environmental legislation has made many companies in this country accelerate their clean-up.
