Yes, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon. Thank you very much.
One of the roles we have in the department is that we have been funding communities, including northern communities, by working closely with Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs on an environmental, climate change and health adaptation program. It's like a program that funds community-based knowledge-gathering, dialogue and planning with respect to climate change and health adaptation. That's one of the contributions we have made in the national adaptation strategy.
Some really interesting community-based research initiatives have been funded through this. I can send information to your office. It has existed for quite some time. It enables that exact thing whereby communities can then come forward and have a voice and present to governments what they need to inform their climate change and health adaptation.
