Madam Speaker, it is my first opportunity to address the new member of this place, the member for Toronto—St. Paul's, so congratulations and welcome.
I can see we have a new orator in this place who loves history, as do I. I am particularly pleased that he identified Arthur Currie as one of our great Canadians. The town where I live, Sidney, British Columbia, is where Arthur Currie used to teach school. His ability to go from being a civilian low-ranking, not high-military, officer as he went into the war and to use basic, common-sense skills of building community together to prepare for and to lead the Canadian Armed Forces in some of the key conflicts of World War I goes down in history forever. We do not forget those people who have served this country, and I appreciate the member's drawing our attention to it.
Given we have seen so many recent events in the area he represents of flash flooding and extreme weather events that have cost millions of dollars to Toronto businesses and people, what does he think will have to be done to try to address the climate crisis while we still have time to do so?
