“The World Health Organization says climate change is the biggest threat to health in the world. Our government makes it a priority to protect the climate so we can protect people's health.”
“Indeed, Mr. Speaker, it is the World Health Organization itself that has deemed climate change to be the number one threat to health all over the world. It is not just a problem in Canada, as the member knows well. Certainly, it is absolutely a priority of this government and must continue to be a priority for all of us to make sure we are taking care of those essential determinants of health, including the climate.”
