It can be, so how much are we doing? What is your unit doing now? Do you know how much was done through the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences, which, you may not know, is being wound up? How much is going on?
I would think the overarching risk to species is climate change. Am I wrong? Are Canadians wrong? In the immediate and maybe even in the middle term, that may not be the case, but over the longer term, temperature increases, desertification, and water temperature increases all have a major bearing on species going forward. I'm just trying to get a sense of this.
I have asked repeatedly, as the chair knows. I have been asking for five years for the climate change plan from the government. I've never seen one, so I'm wondering how you are taking the climate change crisis into account now under the implementation of the Species at Risk Act, much less its review.
I'm trying to get a sense of how we can improve this bill to make sure that we factor this in and that the appropriate amount of science will be going into climate change and effects on species. Can you help us connect these things?
