COP15 : Faits marquants du jour - le 10 décembre 2022 (in French)
« Montréal et les municipalités environnantes se mobilisent pour accueillir cette conférence. Je remercie tout particulièrement la Nation mohawk et les collectivités de Kanesatake, de Kahnawake et d'Akwesasne qui continuent de nous accueillir sur leurs territoires. Nous avançons ensemble sur le chemin de la réconciliation et de la conservation, et j'ai eu l'honneur de transmettre cet esprit de partenariat commun lors de ma visite du village autochtone aujourd'hui. Cet esprit de partenariat a également été mis en évidence durant l'événement de la Communauté métropolitaine de Montréal, auquel j'ai assisté, qui représente 82 municipalités, qui a annoncé qu'elle visait à d'atteindre l'objectif de 30 % de milieux naturels de protégés d'ici 2030, ce qui correspond à l'objectif fédéral. »
