Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank the witnesses. I have a lot of questions to ask but very little time. Five minutes isn't much time for all our questions.
I would like to talk a bit about climate change. You all spoke about climate change and the importance of fighting these changes, in the NCP. You aren't the first ones to tell us this. Yesterday, during the visit, everyone was talking to us about climate change and its impact, saying that an NCP cannot ignore it.
Unfortunately, with the budget, we no longer have the Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act. However, there should be something else to ensure that climate change is taken into account. We are also losing the national roundtable on the environment and the economy, which had done a very good study to explain why climate change will cost more if we tackle it later rather than right away.
Mr. Joly and Ms. Clogg, I would like you to make some brief and very specific recommendations to the committee on climate change. Could you also tell us why it is absolutely essential that the NCP discusses it?
