Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

I thank the witnesses for being with us today.

I will start by addressing the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development.

One of the Commissioner's priorities is to assess the risks associated with climate change. More specifically, future work will take financial aspects into account, as well as emerging adaptation and mitigation initiatives.

This is a priority shared by my constituents in Vaudreuil—Soulanges. We have experienced two historic floods since 2017, and the issues of risk mitigation are critical.

Could the commissioner explain how these factors are included in the audits?
