Mr. Commissioner, to your point about setting the carbon budget and paying attention to where we are, as you've noted in a number of reports, our failures to reduce emissions increase costs in the not too far away time horizons that we're seeing, increase costs from climate events in Canada and increase risks to Canadians. That is why adaptation plans are so significant.
When we delay taking meaningful action—the steps we need to take to meet international and domestic goals—would you agree that the costs go up in implementation, as do the risks?
