Environment committee  . That is just one catastrophe, not to mention the flooded fields. Nova Scotia has had the worst flooding in its history and the worst forest fires. Climate change has many effects, and they differ widely from one part of the country to the other. In some places, there is not enough water

Environment committee  Thank you. In your opening remarks, you talked about the Canada Water Agency and what it can do for farmers. I have a number of farmers in my riding. In fact, last week, I toured a number of farms. You're right, farmers are concerned about climate change. It greatly increases

Environment committee   20% of that to nature-based solutions. We know that in the fight against climate change, our biggest and strongest ally is nature. When we protect a wetland that will filter our water, it will do so at roughly a sixth of the cost of building a plant to do it. Once you've

Environment committee  In terms of greenhouse gas and acidification.... In our mining project, obviously, we don't see acidification as a big impact. Your previous comment on drought and climate change is very interesting in that one of the key components of our regulatory review is the impact

However, the department's reporting was not comprehensive, because it did not have complete information for roughly a third of the mines. We also found that non

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to all of our witnesses and experts for attending today. This is a really remarkable panel. My question is related to water scarcity and climate change. As the weather changes and as the climate warms, and as we've seen in southwestern Ontario

Environment committee   impact on our natural environment and on climate change. PFAS are the worst of both. They're invisible, they have a really negative impact and they're much more difficult to clean up. They may be as hard to clean up as CO2 is to remove from the atmosphere. Do you have any
