Environment committee  Absolutely. There are natural biological cycles that seem to be present in every wildlife population. I couldn't agree with you more on climate change. We've had big weather events forever, and we'll probably continue to have them forever. Populations of wildlife are never

Environment committee  Yes. There are larger factors at play in the world than what hunters themselves can control for the wildlife. That's the point that I think people have to understand as well, that climate change and industrialization are things that actually do impact on the animal populations.

Environment committee  , no caribou, no caribou—and then they came back. It may be related to climate change. It may just be some cycle that we don't understand yet.

Environment committee   years ago has made a great recovery. I don't think it's doom and gloom for caribou. I think they will recover. As to how much of it is related to climate change and how much of it is a natural cycle, I don't know.

Environment committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I am bringing you back to part F of our study. How could the federal government step up habitat conservation efforts in Canada? I think the fight against climate change is an essential factor in this area. Other witnesses have mentioned that we

Environment committee  Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Thank you to the witnesses. I would like to raise something. Perhaps it escaped me, but I have not heard about climate change yet. Last week, in the House, the NDP presented a motion on climate change, which was voted on yesterday. I think

Environment committee  Thank you. Yes, I think it's pretty fair to say that, no, there's no controversy about the fact that the climate is changing. The causes of climate change could be subject to great debate and controversy. Do we need to be cognizant of how this affects our environment as farmers

Environment committee   is an interesting day, since we are going to be debating an NDP motion in the House of Commons on fighting climate change. Some Conservatives no longer believe that climate change is a threat to the planet and habitat conservation, among other things. In that respect, I would like to know

Environment committee  Mr. Lowry, Alberta has a climate change fund from the large emitters. They have a series of interesting programs for mitigation, adaptation, and so on. I see that your organization is into a program of land conservation, etc. Is the fund permitted to compensate your

Environment committee  , protecting biodiversity and wildlife is an important matter. Yesterday was Earth Day. Just prior to it, we found out about the Conservatives’ 2015-2016 budget. It did not even mention climate change. That is why I would like to submit the following motion, which I introduced on February

Environment committee   or first nations, like the Métis or Inuit? In your consultations on habitat protection, are there some that focused specifically on climate change? It could be on the mitigation of climate change or the fight against climate change in relation with changes in the ecosystem. What do you

Environment committee  My question is to Ms. Muter. I'd like you to comment on the connection between what we're talking about today and climate change. Increasingly, the words “climate change” are bad words in the political climate we're in from the government side. I'm wondering if you could make

Environment committee  Okay. I'm not a climate scientist, but I know from reading that the global circulation models do predict that with climate change there will be a drop in water levels. This is a link that I don't do research in, but this is what I've read. This drop in water levels that we're

Environment committee   augmentation, so we actually hold water back up north to let it out slowly in the summer when there's no water in the riverways. Climate change, the patterns that it's creating...a better understanding of climate change will help us in the future to prepare better. Maybe we need bigger

Environment committee   the targets. Monitoring and reporting will ensure accountability. In the Greater Golden Horseshoe especially, it will be important to examine population growth projections and land-use scenarios that are watershed-based and modelled for climate change predictions that demonstrate what we
