Petition to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change
- The federal government must commit to protecting and conserving nature and guarantee a clean, safe and sustainable environment for current and future generations;
- The Grand Coteau forest in Rosemère includes numerous wetlands, plant communities and forest stands of very high ecological value and is home to many rare, threatened or vulnerable species;
- Preserving this forest would strengthen the Grand Coteau forest corridor, which is a greenbelt that extends from the agricultural plains of Mirabel to the peat bogs of L’Assomption;
- At COP15, Canada stated that it would protect 25% of its lands and oceans by 2025;
- It should not be up to municipalities to assume the financial burden of acquiring lands to create nature reserves and protected areas, which are clearly within the scope of the fight against climate change.
