Environment committee  Thanks for the question. In terms of aquatic invasive species, what we've seen historically is that with our colder climate, we've been able to keep various species at bay. Their climactic tolerances haven't been able to withstand our colder temperatures. With climate change

Environment committee   community resilience in response to climate change impacts. They are only two programs amongst many that are happening across the watershed and throughout B.C. that are working at preventive measures here. Thank you.

Environment committee   the country. Environment and Climate Change Canada estimates that 16 invasive species cost us anywhere between $13 billion to $39 billion annually. That's a huge number of taxpayers' dollars, and it's felt across the board in terms of management, response, impacts to property values

Environment committee   is more territorially localized, could help counteract some of the effects of climate change. It’s vital that we accept that we’re part of a cycle. In Canada, the word “systemic” has often been used for many things in recent years, but from an environmental point of view, we don’t

Environment committee  I'd maybe add a little bit. In terms of resilience and adaptation, the project is very helpful, because research has been done in terms of what we can expect in climate change scenarios with precipitation. What they're saying is that the volumes should remain steady or perhaps

Environment committee   of the hydrological cycle. We saw how many decades it took for the issue of climate change to be taken seriously. If it takes as long for the water issue to be taken seriously, we’re in for some nasty surprises.

Environment committee   going to be related to things like climate change and emergent disease. I go back to the COVID issue. COVID proved to me that Canada could have solved the first nations' drinking water crises, because billions of dollars got pushed, laws changed, bureaucracies at every level

Environment committee   involve transportation, agriculture, fish habitat restoration, addressing historical inequities with first nations, on-the-ground implementation of UNDRIP and so on. This work touches many federal departments—Environment and Climate Change Canada, Infrastructure, Fisheries, Public

Environment committee   will multiply in the context of climate change and energy transition. The observatory's recommendations are in line with the objective of the mandate given to the Canada Water Agency. The innovative governance model we propose will enable Canada to shine internationally through

Environment committee   Regulatory Agency and Environment and Climate Change Canada, to consider all the potential impacts on a larger scale. SARM voiced concerns some time ago about creating a Canada water agency. We are concerned that we will have duplication since we already have a Saskatchewan Water

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I did indeed get back yesterday, and I'm very glad to be back. I am pleased to join the committee members today to discuss the 2023‑24 supplementary estimates (B) for my portfolio, which includes Environment and Climate Change Canada, Parks Canada

Environment committee  Mr. Deltell, if it weren't for international co‑operation in the fight against climate change, we would be heading toward a world where temperature increases would be 4°C. All we see in terms of the impact of climate change is an increase of 1°C. Thanks to the Paris Agreement

Environment committee  Chair, I want to move the following motion: That given, (a) the Minister of Environment and Climate Change travelled to Dubai to represent Canada at COP28; (b) the Minister of Environment and Climate Change did not reveal the complete details of the individuals

Environment committee  . That is sad, very sad. With regard to the motion currently being debated, I would like to remind you that this government has been constantly lecturing everyone on climate change for the past eight years. It keeps wanting to tax people. It keeps talking about ambitious targets

Environment committee   food costs. Number one is climate change, not carbon pricing. We ought not to get those two things confused. The second is the labour market. It's challenging out there. There is a labour shortage in Canada, the United States and elsewhere. Nowhere in that document did they point
