As you can expect, I would say no, we're not sufficiently prepared. We still have some work to do, especially in the context of the loss of institutional capacity within the Government of Canada for assisting at least farmers in the west.
In my experience, much of the focus in the climate change file has been on mitigation—limiting greenhouse gas emissions, storing carbon. Mitigation still remains the focus of policy and practice in Canada, but there is an adaptation imperative. There is increasing awareness that we have changed the climate, and it will continue to change; therefore, we have to prepare Canadians for a changing climate. It's encouraging to see that there were new federal programs announced in the last budget that make resources available for research on adaptation as well as for implementation of that research.
