Environment committee  I think that all of our investments in climate change, both on the mitigation side, as well as in terms of adaptation, are indeed proving to be effective. As I say regularly during question period, whenever I have the occasion, climate change is a global challenge which requires

Environment committee   local agriculture, but it also reduces the ecological footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change is not a fabrication. It was noted again yesterday and throughout our travels how climate change is having some very serious consequences and how they relate to our national

Environment committee   and that it must be considered in the development and implementation of the NCP. What conservation priorities should be included in an NCP? For aboriginal peoples, climate change brings a real threat to our cultural survival and undermines our aboriginal rights and interests. Climate change

Environment committee   to which, whatever objectives and aspirational qualities are part of such a plan, it might reduce our ability for it to have the accountability element—and indeed, the enforceability element—associated with a national conservation plan. With respect to climate change, from an oceanic

Environment committee  Thank you for that question. I think addressing climate change has to come on two fronts. One is mitigation, trying to slow down the process of climate change through a control of carbon. I think there should be strong language, because we really don't know what that road

Environment committee   submission today, I therefore wish to examine in greater depth three issues that crosscut these elements and should inform a national conservation plan. First is the imperative of climate change and nature conservation; second is the need for sustainable land and water management outside

Environment committee  . The organization's report said that costs for climate change adaptation were even higher than the costs for the immediate fight against climate change. We are withdrawing from the Kyoto Protocol under the pretext that it is going to be too costly. I assume that we are not fulfilling our 2020

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. My thanks to all the witnesses. My first question goes to Ms. Simon. You mentioned the climate change that is affecting Canada's north. Climate change is absolutely real and obvious. It is affecting the permafrost and the biodiversity. You mentioned

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to thank all the witnesses and to welcome them here. Len, in your testimony you spoke briefly about climate change. We know that climate change has an affect on ecosystems, including an affect on invasive species, which we discussed in our

Environment committee  , such as with global warming and climate change, and we should continually look for opportunities to generate revenue and save money while doing good things for the environment. One suggestion is having multi-year contribution agreements. The government could implement multi-year contribution

Environment committee  I'd like to thank the chair and the committee for the opportunity to appear before you and participate in the review of this bill and of climate change generally. Before I get into my remarks, I'll first note the four points I would like to leave with you. First of all, CCPA

Environment committee   that the government is still struggling with this issue. The first chapter of my report is about climate change plans and the Kyoto Protocol Implementation Act. The act requires the government to produce these plans every year. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that Canada meets its

Environment committee  I have just one other small point. That wet-weather-flow master plan does consider the sizing required to handle some of the new flows they expect to have due to climate change.

Environment committee  My question is for Ms. Goucher. Based on your expertise, could you talk about whether you see climate change as something that the government should be addressing as an issue of concern for the Great Lakes region?

Environment committee   that Canada should, as you said, have a very strong presence at the International Joint Commission. Could you explain to us the importance of the International Joint Commission and of the scientific data regarding the fight against climate change? I read that, among other things
