I know that a lot of people think we don't have global warming and that, after this winter, climate change doesn't exist. Well, we know it does. One of our jobs is to manage dams into the Bay

Science drives the decision ultimately, but in order to have our stakeholders, our communities buy into any change and buy into the policy that is developed, we have to engage them and ask

Environment committee  I think the issue of climate change is inextricably intertwined with hunting, trapping, fishing, and certainly environmental policy and overall land management. We have seen more incidents of severe weather right across the country—

There are many unanswered questions about the impacts climate change is having on the boreal and what the impacts

There are more wicked problems, such as invasive species, climate change, mega-development of resource industries, etc., and obviously, there are more people, but having worked in natural

We talked earlier about CIDA and some of the projects it has participated in to try to help some of the poorest countries adapt to climate change. I won't go through all the projects in gory detail

I should emphasize that I'm not officially representing any organization, but I'm speaking based on my research

Environment committee  Mr. Chair, can I just ask this? Mr. Farrant mentioned that the scientists they have may be able to elaborate a little more on the climate change impact and maybe have some recommendations. If he's able to ask his scientists if they could maybe table any recommendations and any

For some, a study of trapping and hunting may not have the same cachet as a discussion on climate change or on carbon taxes, although both of those issues are also of clear

Environment committee  Climate change is a very complex issue to get into. I have members who would say we're not affecting the climate. Personally I believe that we as humans are a cause of it. What can we do? We could try to minimize our impact in the sense of making better choices. A lot of my

Environment committee  We will definitely see some changes. We already see changes with migrations of species to other areas of the province. We've had a lot of flooding in our province lately, and we've seen some very fast increases of rivers. So on climate change, it's warm. We get flooding
