Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to turn my attention to the grave risks of climate change as another motivator to the potential disruption in our supply chains.
We often hear as a matter of debate that climate change on one hand is this massive threat of which we see the impacts. When I was first elected, not that long ago in British Columbia we were faced with a massive flood that destroyed parts of the interior of British Columbia. The following year we saw massive wildfires.
It seems to me that in addition to the incredible challenges of labour disruption and the incredible challenges that climate change presents Canada, your jobs at Transport Canada are immensely difficult. I want to sympathize with the challenges of a changing environment.
This year in Alberta, for example, we've already seen wildfires during the rainy season in Fort McMurray, forcing thousands to evacuate. I had to house my friends last year during the very devastating wildfires that threatened Yellowknife.
The crisis of climate change is getting more deadly. It's getting more serious. I fear that my generation and the ones to follow may suffer a weakened economy, continually weakened by the fact that our supply chains are becoming more diminished.
Deputy Auditor General Hayes, why didn't you include recommendations about climate resiliency, or a review of some of the funds in terms of whether or not they hit the sustainable objectives that Canada has put forward?
