Combating climate change must happen first within the federal family. It does not involve just two departments. It involves a concerted effort from the part of all departments.
Mr. Bigras was asking me a question earlier about the relationship between the provinces and the federal government. There is no doubt that in various areas such as adaptation, the federal government will have to work with the provinces and the territories. So there should be some sharing in this regard.
The problem of climate change is global, and Canada, through CIDA and other agencies, is working to better reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in developing countries. So the problem is global, but there must be efforts made at the local level as well.
