There are three things I'd like to say.
First, we can't fight climate change unless we reduce our dependencies on fossil fuels. That's in Canada and that's around the world. That's number one, so we need to reduce our emissions.
Second, we need to have a strategy to prepare Canada and Canadians for the impacts of climate change. They're here; we're seeing them. You mentioned many of them. We could talk about the forest fires across the country. We could talk about the droughts that we're seeing in the Prairies. Right now in Alberta, we're talking about rationing water because of low precipitation.
The third thing I'd like to say is that, just before Christmas, the Conservative Party voted against a half-billion dollar program to support victims of natural catastrophes. I find it unconscionable that they would prevent money going to people in times of need as we face the ever-increasing impacts of climate change.
