Environment committee   this fall to work together, to talk about climate change going forward, both mitigation and adaptation. The final point I guess I'd make on that front—and Mike can certainly add to this— is that one of the things that's been important to us as we do this sector-by-sector regulatory

The charts give quite a variance between the low end and the high end of the various impacts of various emissions reductions. When you say, in 1.63, that Environment Canada could improve decision-makers' climate change

Environment committee  Okay, Kim is pointing me to the first paragraph of our chapter 1. The impacts of climate change are impacts that are happening on the ground, and Natural Resources Canada—

Environment committee  Natural Resources Canada released a report very recently on all the various impacts that Canadians are seeing now due to climate change. If we want to reduce the impact of changing climate, one of the biggest things we need to do is reduce our greenhouse gas emissions

Environment committee  In the beginning, in the introduction, we do mention that climate change is one of the reasons that vessel traffic will likely increase, but we don't go any further than that.

Environment committee   was cleaner waterways that these plants discharged into. I'm interested in the environmental result. The reduction of CO2 is a means to an end, and I'm asking you what that end would be for Canada. What are we going to see in a successful fight against climate change? I mean in Canada

The audits I'm reporting on today underscore that the government does not have the answers to many questions that impact the future of sustainable development in Canada. When we last looked at climate change commitments in 2012, we concluded that the government's approach

Environment committee  There are many reasons to do this. There is, in particular, the pressure of climate change. Look what happened recently with Hurricane Sandy. I pay a great deal of attention to what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has to say. Every time that the IPCC presents its

Integrated watershed management is increasingly being adopted in Canadian and international jurisdictions

Environment committee  Thank you, Chair. Thank you, witnesses, for coming today. First, I guess if anybody's denying climate change, yesterday's tour would have been a good one to go on to see, as alluded to by the NDP, how the invasive species are coming into the mussel farms. There are ducks

Environment committee   into it. We have to see urban conservation as a whole. You said so and other witnesses have said so as well. We have to be looking out for human health, both physical and psychological. Nor must we forget the war on climate change. In that respect, research has recently been done on what

Environment committee  The way in which I think about climate change is really driven by my mandate. For the Wildlife Service, we're concerned about species at risk. We have some protected areas and migratory birds. When we're thinking about climate change, we're thinking about the way in which

The question on climate change is an important one, and I would hope that we all believe that the environment is very important, including a change in climate, very important, but the focus today, as pointed out in O’Brien and Bosc

Environment committee  The government may not think the cause of climate change is important to the environment committee or the deputy minister of the environment, but I happen to think it's pivotal, if we have a deputy minister who's creating climate change policy, that he, first of all, believes
