Based on what I read online, percentages for the reason there's a boil water advisory in municipalities are available, but the number isn't. I think that I did access numbers from the previous decades.
Concerning drought and climate change.... This is really to anybody who's interested in talking about food security. I have one more small question, so please give me a moment, if that's okay.
Food costs are rising, and the main reason is climate change. It's irrefutable. Other people might want to say that there are other reasons for expensive food in Canada, but there's expensive food in the United States as well and around the world, and one of the main reasons is climate change. The main thing that is required for crops is irrigation or rain. When that's not available, crops fail. When pests are allowed to run rampant, crops fail, and food costs go up.
Can somebody just briefly touch on the importance of fighting climate change and of irrigation in the context of food security and making sure that food continues to be affordable for Canadians?
