Environment committee  You didn't examine the foundation for atmospheric and climate change sciences--it's being wound up this year--for example. That wasn't examined?

The Auditor General made a comment that there are also profound changes taking place in the north as a result of climate change and because of long-range transport of air pollutants. Commissioner Vaughan, I think that came

We examined whether Indian and Northern affairs Canada

I think we will need this legislation even more in 50 years' time, not less. I thought the initial focus of the act was primarily on biodiversity

Environment committee   in light of things like climate change is that 12% is going to be woefully inadequate. So I think as much as we can do to lay out our national parks intelligently, to have more, that's a wonderful tool. But we really need to not focus on that instead of good management of these species

Environment committee  Do you think that the bill we are working on currently should mention climate change?

Environment committee  My question is for all three of our witnesses. Have you ever thought to integrate scientific observations on climate change into the scientific models you are currently using?

Environment committee  That is COSEWIC's work. When scientists prepare their report on what is left of an endangered species, they include climate change in their study so that they can try to predict whether the species can survive.

Environment committee  . Your point and this chart support that we need to have not Canada, but globally all the emitters, participating. Without that, we will have growing greenhouse gas emissions, which means a continuing climate change crisis. My question for you, Minister, is, in your opinion

Environment committee  I'm not happy with your answer, and I doubt that Canadians will be either. With Bali, as the Canadian delegation going into these negotiations, do you have any concept of what an actual global limit for dangerous climate change might look like? The Europeans, the English

And with respect to the Kyoto Protocol and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, if you think you're going to now change around the entire regime for inventory and accounting of greenhouse gas emissions, you're really dreaming

Our past record and our future plans both breed quite a bit of cynicism within the Canadian public, and I think Ms. Hayes summed up some

A majority of the population support the Kyoto Protocol, and I think the Canadian delegation should be representative of that majority trend.
