Environment committee   talk about climate change at all. I was wondering if you think that could be an improvement to the government's strategy.

Environment committee   is a topic that has been talked about in this committee. I was wondering if you could comment on how this species is a potentially invasive one, and also comment from the perspective of how climate change might affect it.

Environment committee  Yes. I've been very critical from my standpoint as an ecologist of federal government policy, in particular in relation to climate change and also biodiversity.

Environment committee  If I were to read to you the statement, “Stephen Harper's attempts to foil this legislation”--referring to the climate change bill of the NDP--“appear to be directed by his desire to have Canadian environmental policy as bereft of substantive content as possible in going

Environment committee  I'm aware of all the reports of our predecessor, on climate change. Yes.

Environment committee  Exhibit 1.8 lists all of the measures and costs. They were included in the 2010 climate change plan. There are measures here that have greenhouse gas emissions associated with them. Those are the first 19 that are listed. There are another 15 measures listed in the 2010 plan

Environment committee  Thanks for your answer. We know that in a statement released today the government said they've already reached one fourth of their goal with regard to greenhouse gas reductions. Can you talk about paragraph 1.23 and the climate change plan under the Kyoto Protocol

Environment committee  I believe the report shows that $9.2 billion has been spent for climate change. At the same time, the government has reduced its target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 90%. I also believe you said this morning that $92,000--

Environment committee  No, I don't think anybody could attribute tracking carbon dioxide emissions from a single country like Canada, and then the impacts on Canadians. What we referred to in that paragraph is an analysis from Health Canada, from 2008, which has said that impacts from climate change

Environment committee   cooperation? I think it is a problem that currently affects every country in the world, especially in the context of climate change. My colleague spoke of this earlier. What are your international linkages? Will you develop a more international approach or strategy, given that as you said

Environment committee  Mr. Wong has identified rising temperatures. Is climate change part of your strategy?

Environment committee  Yes, it is. I go back to our approach to managing for ecological integrity in our national parks to ensure that the natural processes and native species are maintained or restored, and invasive alien species, climate change, and ecosystem process changes within the national park

Environment committee  So if the American climate change plan includes massive subsidies or offsets that benefit American agriculture, and the Canadian climate change plan doesn't have something equivalent, are we not going to run into even more serious problems with the Canadian agriculture industry?

Environment committee  Thank you. It was a curiosity question. I'm now going to focus on the direction Canada is heading in addressing climate change. We began the clean energy dialogue after the administrative changes in the United States with the Obama administration. We've been working

Environment committee  , and we're making a big mistake if we do stuff that gives them an excuse to put in protectionist barriers under a climate change cloak. So we have to be mindful of the protectionist threat from the U.S. We also have to be mindful of the fact that it's really a North American marketplace
