The leader of the Green Party of Quebec, Alex Tyrrell, took the floor on Monday, August 22, to present the candidacy of Rita Locicero, official candidate of the Green Party for the 2022 general election, in the riding of Vimont. Together, they took a public stand on the whole issue of water management in Quebec, that is, the protection of drinking water, lakes and rivers, as well as the management of riverbanks.
The GPQ recognizes how fortunate we are in Quebec to have world-class freshwater reservoirs that feed our lakes, rivers and streams. However, the neglect of our waterways has gone on too long. Biodiversity levels are declining, pollution from human activities is increasing, and if significant action is not taken now, the health of our lakes, rivers and streams will be sacrificed. We must protect them now, because we cannot go back when it is too late.
