Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a couple of small points.
This document, the summary for policy-makers of working group two, which looks at impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability, also contains something called the technical summary. In there is a condensation of the anticipated impacts in North America. It was written by two outstanding scientists, one of them a Canadian lady, Linda Mortsch, and I encourage you to read it. You get some sense of where Canada is vulnerable.
One of the loud messages is actually in water, particularly for those who depend on water from, for example, the Rockies, where there's going to be more precipitation that falls as rain in the winter than as snow, you're going to have less snowpack, and we're going to have melting of the glaciers. It's going to put a threat to water availability in the prairies.
I'll be very quick with the second point I want to make. As I mentioned already, we need to understand better what the impacts will be, but we also need to understand how we can adapt. That's a social and human science question. There's no use just having the natural sciences, important though that is; we also have to understand how society will behave and can behave.
