Mr. Speaker, I put this question to other members who were on this committee but I am curious as to the member's view.
What plans does the government have in place right now? What money has been allocated to look at the adaptation required for a changing marine environment due to climate change?
Many studies have been done by many different countries, many of our trading partners, to look at what the implications are for the physical infrastructure, for the physical way we do harbours and the physical way we seek to upkeep them. When we look through the government spending plans, we rarely see any sort of contingency, any insurance policy. The concern for many is that these harbours will be built in such a way that will not accommodate a climate changed future.
I am wondering if he has any details to provide the House.
