Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of you for coming and giving us more information about this.
I will continue along the same lines. I would like to speak about how to make all our ecological activities beneficial. Ms. Smith and Mr. Garand, you both spoke about this. You spoke about the impact of climate change on urban conservation and how, by taking on climate change, the federal government could help reduce the climate disruption that destroys infrastructures, farmland, waterways and so on. The National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy indicated that, by 2020, the economic repercussions of climate change could reach $5 billion a year.
What role could the federal government play with respect to climate change, a role that could have a positive impact on urban conservation?
