Environment committee  Thank you very much. My next question is for Mr. Sandford from the UN University Institute. You mentioned that you feel like we're chasing after climate change with a hope of catching up right now. We've heard several questions around this bill regarding the cost of putting

Environment committee   waited so long to act on the threat, climate heating has gotten away from us. What scientists and governments must do now is chase after it with the hope of catching up and getting ahead of it. Our current global situation takes us beyond the first stage of climate change impacts

Flood and drought damages have risen dramatically in Canada since then and are expected to rise further due to extreme weather and water events, thanks to climate change coupled

I think even Boris Johnson, in Canada today, said he wished the Conservatives in Canada would take climate change seriously. I think we could get some real study on this. I would say that we could study this for a minimum

Again, to go back to the original information that was provided by ECCC—a document that was not written by ECCC and is not supposed to speak on behalf of Environment and Climate Change Canada or the minister about the modelling and the economic

Environment committee  First of all, I thank you for that very, very important question and observation. We are only beginning to see just what those costs might look like. We first have to determine exactly what kinds of impacts we're talking about. When climate change migrations become a crisis

Environment committee  Climate change is causing a lot of problems for farmers, who are on the front line. How will this strategy be able to help them plan their season more effectively?

Environment committee  It's one of the challenges, obviously, with predicting climate change and the impacts. I think what's perhaps more easily accessible are the land use changes that have happened over a number of years, but that's also information that's held and known more locally. How would you

Environment committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Scarpaleggia. Mr. Pomeroy, welcome to the committee for a second time. A reminder to the committee that you are the Canada research chair in water resources and climate change at the University of Saskatchewan. The floor is yours for five minutes.

I will provide you with an overview, after which my officials and I will be happy to answer your questions. Before I begin, I would like to acknowledge
