Canadians share stewardship of our environmental heritage. We hold responsibility for creating a legacy of sustainable transportation. We have in common the obligation to make practical, informed decisions that will allow all our citizens to breathe a whole lot easier. What is quite exciting to appreciate is that in pursuing a clean air strategy, Canadians also share the opportunity to be world leaders in sustainable transportation. That will lead to good jobs for Canadians, quality jobs, new economy jobs.
Sustainable transportation can be the underpinning of even greater growth.
With our huge and challenging geography, Canadians have developed the skills, understanding and determination to build world leading transportation systems. We have the chance to turn those talents and that commitment towards becoming the global leaders in the sustainable transportation of the future. Cleaning up our air. Safeguarding our health. Creating new jobs and capturing new markets.
