Communities involved have discovered that actions to address climate change, also improve their air and water quality. This is just one way that Canada is working with many many partners, including China, to preserve our natural legacy. We believe that environmental challenges need to be one of our top foreign policy priorities. Your visit, Mr. Minister, and that of your Premier and the rest of your delegation is encouraging evidence that the struggle to create a cleaner, greener and more productive world is gaining a momentum. We also know that Canadians care about the future of their children and grandchildren.
Environmental health is key to their security.
I am sure the same applies to our Chinese friends. That is why I am committed to work with you to help build a better global environment.
