Madam Speaker, historically, Quebec and Canada were built through immigration and with the presence of the first nations, who are too often forgotten. Historically, people have settled in what is known as the Quebec-Windsor corridor, which accounts for about 60% to 70% of the Canadian population. If Canada reaches 100 million people in 2100, this corridor would be home to between 60 million and 70 million people. One of the largest watersheds in Canada, the one that provides water to all of these people, is located in this corridor. Many cities are already having problems with water supply. What would be the environmental consequences if the 60 million to 70 million Quebeckers and Canadians settled on this piece of land?
