Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I find it interesting that we're talking about coal-fired plants in Germany. What about a certain pipeline named Trans Mountain, which will make it possible to take 890,000 barrels of oil a day from the oil sands. That will certainly affect the permafrost too. The government should take a good look at how clean its hands are before comparing Canada to other countries that don't always have the best climate change record.
Dr. Voyer, you mentioned in your opening remarks that the Arctic is the fastest warming region on the planet. In your opinion, how could increased funding for research in the Arctic improve our capacity to fight global warming?
