Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would first like to make a brief aside to my colleagues. I previously gave notice of a motion regarding the schedule, which seemed to pose some issues, but we have received a new schedule. That means the motion will no longer be necessary, and I won't be moving it.
I'll now turn to the representatives of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
Thank you for being here. You mentioned that infrastructure costs were increasing by $9 billion per year and that climate change was contributing to that. According to forecasts, this could reach around $14 billion a year.
How much of the increase in costs and infrastructure needs is directly related to climate change, and which warming scenario is being used as a basis?
For example, are forecasts based on the current trajectory, which leads to a warming of 2.7°C, or a scenario in which the temperature would increase by 5°C?
