Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Last week, I believe, we heard from a climatologist who told us that atmospheric emissions produced 20 years ago could be the cause of climate change today.

Mr. Guilbeault, I noticed that you reacted quite strongly to some of Ms. Donnelly's assertions. What do you think of that theory? I'd like to hear from Ms. Donnelly as well, once Mr. Guilbeault has responded.

Could emissions produced 20 years ago be having an effect today? And if we delay reducing emissions, could that result in sudden climate changes in the next few years?
