Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to present another petition on climate change, this time on the impacts of climate change on food. In the past few years, weather extremes caused jumps in food prices. This past summer, the multi-million dollar lobster industry was impacted, as were farmers across many regions of Canada, by drought.
The petitioners call on the government to acknowledge the urgency of climate change and the magnitude of the challenges remaining, recognize that a sector-by-sector approach will be too slow, and develop real-world solutions for farmers and vulnerable families.
