Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Our government understands that climate change is real and that it's having substantial impacts both around the world and here at home, from rising sea levels to warmer winters and hotter summers. The issue of forest pest management clearly demonstrates that protecting the environment and helping the economy go hand in hand.
One way we are addressing this issue is by putting a price on pollution. What is the potential impact of climate change on future forest pest outbreaks?
