Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Ms. Gélinas and the other panel members, for your work on this and for your cogent presentation today.
If I can summarize at least components of your report, it seems to me that Canadians, arguably more than ever, are aware of climate change as an atmospheric problem. Certainly the surveys and anecdotal evidence would point to Canadians being engaged in this issue, and your report recommends, among other things, that the federal government must show leadership with respect to climate change. Is that fair to say so far?
