Environment committee  Okay, sure. Here's my question. When the government announced its pan-Canadian framework on clean growth and climate change in October of 2016, it also announced the price, starting at $10 a tonne and moving to $50 a tonne by 2022. The assumption at the time

Environment committee  When we were doing our study on climate change, we heard from farmers and people in the agriculture industry that there are certainly some reductions in carbon costs to them, but there were also other activities—such as drying grain, for example—that required a different kind

Quinte Conservation developed a climate change strategy in 2016, recognizing the reality of extreme weather events related to flooding, drought and an increase in intense rainfall. Several action items have been developed with the aim of meeting our

It's to recognize that in a world of climate change, changing species and the movement of these species with increasing trade, we have

Environment committee  Thank you. I will move to Environment and Climate Change Canada. Some 23 of over 200 federal organizations were considered during the report on the non-tax subsidies. I think the commissioner may have touched on this, but how do you pick and choose which organizations

They won't be able to adapt as readily to climate change. You need to have that large, healthy, contiguous, diverse forest in order

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thanks, folks. I'll go with Ms. Lindsay if I could. We know that Canada's forests can be altered by climate change, just as certain forestry practices can alter a forest's ability to mitigate climate change. Now in Nova Scotia we have very little Crown
