As you know, last year in the budget we committed just under $150 million specifically to climate change adaptation, and that's spread across departments. I don't want to read too many lists today, but in this $150 million allotted over five years, for example, $30 million goes to Environment Canada's climate change prediction and scenarios program, and $16 million goes to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans aquatic change, climate change adaptation. Parks Canada is receiving money. Health Canada is receiving almost $10 million for heat alert and response systems. There is an investment in the north. Natural Resources Canada has allocated $35 million of this amount towards enhancing competitiveness in climate change programs.
Then, of course, this year, in budget 2013—and I can't miss this opportunity to again encourage the opposition parties' support for the budget—we have allocated almost a quarter of a billion dollars to the Meteorological Service of Canada to improve, to renovate, and to expand our ability to forecast and to deal with the significant impact of climate change, particularly in the north, and also to be able to more closely forecast extreme weather occurrences for the benefit of small communities, which until now have been more or less in the larger picture.
