Mr. Speaker, I have a petition regarding climate change, our most pressing environmental issue. Climate change is expensive. By 2050, the annual adaptation costs could be $21 billion to $43 billion annually. In 2011, the U.S. experienced 14 extreme weather events that each cost $1 billion.
The petitioners call on the government to model climate impacts to inform decisions about adaptation and to allocate resources to help Canadians adapt.
