Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Auditor General, commissioner.
A year ago, the Bloc Québécois conducted a study to quantify, among other things, the costs of climate change for individuals and governments. In our view, it is very clear that, regardless of what happens on the international stage, even if we ignore climate change, its impacts will not go away.
Commissioner, you note in your report today that the costs of the impacts of climate change are rising, particularly with regard to flooding, that adaptation costs are likely to increase, and that the government has once again, in many respects, made commitments without achieving the expected results in terms of adaptation and resilience.
You produced a report last year on the adaptation strategy. Based on your analysis, I understand that the government, through its lack of seriousness regarding the fight against climate change, crises and their impacts, is increasing the bill that will be passed on to Canadians in the coming years. And that's not even counting the repercussions. There will be human tragedies, among other things.
In short, what the government isn't doing—or isn't doing well enough—right now will come at a cost. Is that your assessment of the situation?
