With all due respect to Mr. Godfrey, I don't think we can isolate mitigation from adaptation. The degree of adaptation that will be necessary will depend entirely on the extent to which we're able to slow the rate of climate change. So we can't consider one without the other.
The fact that Bill C-288 is exclusively focused on a single paragraph in the Kyoto accord simply underscores the fact that there is a policy vacuum at the federal level and that we're not developing a comprehensive strategy for climate change.
