Over 400 partners, including the City of Valleyfield, public health workers, the health and social service centre and the people of this city in my riding, have all joined forces for the past three years to take part in a study on pollen concentrations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2447864\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Ragweed is systematically cut down every year in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, and as a result, the intensity of allergy symptoms has dropped by over 58%. This goes to show that, by working together, it is possible to positively influence people's health. I would remind the House that 25% of Canadians suffer from this kind of allergy. I therefore invite all communities in Canada to follow the example set by Salaberry-de-Valleyfield in order to improve air quality and everyone's health.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2447865\" data-originallang=\"fr\">I would also like to take this opportunity to wish the people of my riding and everyone in Quebec an excellent Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day.</p>",

Plus de 400 partenaires, dont la Ville de Valleyfield, la sant\u00e9 publique, le CSSS et les citoyens de cette ville de mon comt\u00e9, se sont mobilis\u00e9s au cours des trois derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es pour participer \u00e0 une \u00e9tude sur la concentration de pollen.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2447864\" data-originallang=\"fr\">La coupe syst\u00e9matique et annuelle de l'herbe \u00e0 poux \u00e0 Salaberry-de-Valleyfield a permis de diminuer de plus de 58 p. 100 l'intensit\u00e9 des sympt\u00f4mes allergiques. Cela d\u00e9montre qu'en agissant ensemble, il est possible d'avoir un impact positif sur la sant\u00e9 des citoyens. N'oublions pas que le quart de la population canadienne souffre de ce type d'allergie. J'invite donc toutes les communaut\u00e9s du Canada \u00e0 suivre l'exemple de Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, afin d'am\u00e9liorer la qualit\u00e9 de l'air et la sant\u00e9 de tous. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2447865\" data-originallang=\"fr\">De plus, je profite de l'occasion pour souhaiter une excellente F\u00eate nationale du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 tous les citoyens de ma circonscription et du Qu\u00e9bec.</p>"
