It's true that many adaptation issues are generally under provincial jurisdiction. It's not exclusive. Earlier, I gave the examples of land use planning and forest management. Several issues fall under provincial jurisdiction, but there are also connections. For example, agriculture and the environment are shared jurisdictions.
I think the most important thing is that any federal action must connect with provincial stakeholders to ensure consistency. Even us at Ouranos, as we try to advance adaptation, we sometimes get very frustrated to see conflicts between the federal and provincial governments, or even between the provincial and municipal governments—it doesn't only happen at the federal-provincial level.
Given the urgency of the climate risk we face, it's absolutely crucial that things get done in a coordinated manner. I still dream of the days when I was young, when infrastructure investment programs were paid for one third by the federal government, one third by the provincial government in one third by the municipal government. It seems to me that those were the good old days. It was simple. Each player could advance infrastructure development by integrating the aspects that were important to all three levels.
