Madam Chair, climate change remains one of the greatest challenges of our times. A little more than a year ago, hundreds of thousands of Canadians took part in climate marches across the country. This is an issue that is important to Canadians and, indeed, our government. Climate change is real.
Our government delivers on its promises and took concrete action to address the climate emergency, such as transitioning to net zero, putting a price on pollution and re-engaging on this issue on the international scene. Our government has stated from the beginning that Canada understands that if we do not have a plan to tackle climate change, then we do not have a plan to create jobs and economic growth, but now climate change is an issue being tackled on both sides of the border. Since the road map for a renewed Canada-U.S. partnership was revealed, Canada attended the Leaders Summit on Climate, hosted by President Biden and John Kerry, the U.S. climate envoy.
Could the minister please tell us how Canada and the U.S. will coordinate on advancing climate solutions and protecting nature?
