I've enjoyed listening to the comments today. I certainly hope to have the opportunity, either through this committee or on my own, to visit the north at some point in the future. I've found, as a member, that it helps when you meet people and experience their day-to-day living and activities. I think it shapes our opinions as lawmakers when it comes time to making recommendations.
I have a question. I want to follow up, because sometimes when we say we have to keep talking about climate change, it's kind of left out there. I'm curious to get your thinking about “beyond adaptation”, which I can see as a challenge as the environment warms—and I assumes it's mostly warming in the case of the north—but what else did you have in mind? When foreign dignitaries come and say “Keep talking about it”, what are they talking about, or are you really focused on the adaptation, that we need to ensure that communities and the territories are able to meet the challenges of what I think is a warming trend in the north?
