Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Auguste, I would like to congratulate you on your victory and on your election as a member of Parliament. Democracy has spoken.
I'm happy to see you here. I know that our constituencies are neighbours. When you came to my constituency, we unfortunately didn't have the chance to see each other. I imagine that, when you make announcements in the future, we'll likely have the opportunity to talk on the ground.
As you know, the Bloc Québécois obviously strongly supports flood and drought prevention. We're also quite vocal about the need for the federal government to improve its climate change adaptation strategy. It has been roundly criticized, in particular by the commissioner of the environment and sustainable development.
Of course, when we talk about floods and droughts, we're talking about extreme weather events. We're also likely to see more of them as your government moves ahead with the construction of new pipelines and oil and gas production.
In your opinion, does it make sense to propose a strategy to better manage floods and droughts while also building pipelines that will fuel the climate crisis and basically help increase the number of floods?
