I'm sorry, Mr. DeMarco. Unfortunately, time is up, but maybe we'll get the answer in the next round of questions. Please stay at the table; you may be called upon.
As my colleagues and I have agreed, even though I'm acting as chair, I'll use my time to ask questions as the Bloc Québécois representative.
Commissioner, there's something I'd like to understand. There are two reports, one on flooding and one on climate change resilience, both of which clearly show that the federal government is lagging behind. The graphs actually show an almost exponential increase in the number of floods and the associated costs.
In your report, you say that, according to Canada's national adaptation strategy, failure to invest a dollar today will cost between $13 and $15 later on. Does that mean that the government's failure to produce results and the fact that it's falling further and further behind are already generating additional costs for taxpayers and that, if nothing changes, those costs will be even higher for future generations? Can you put a dollar value on those costs at this point?
