Mr. Speaker, the minister's answer was completely irrelevant and irresponsible, particularly considering that Canada is about to take over as chair of the Arctic Council for two years.
The World Meteorological Organization report says that sea ice melt will have disastrous consequences. Sea levels are rising, natural habitats are disappearing and flooding is becoming more common.
Canada is a northern nation, so we absolutely must have a plan to mitigate the impact of climate change on melting Arctic ice.
What strategy will the Conservatives adopt when they take over as chair of the Arctic Council?
