Environment committee   for climate change--

Environment committee   and I, John, was when Charles set up a debate on climate change at the University of Ottawa. Charles said, “Bob, you're probably going to have a pretty rough time here. It's not going to be a friendly audience for you, but I think you'll do okay.” At the end, he said, “You know, both

Environment committee   we're looking at in this project that's really interesting is how CCS is integrated into climate change strategies, because we are moving toward other forms of fuel--renewables, solar, wind, and things like that. The question is, what role can each play? How do you develop CCS

Environment committee  But if the aims and objectives are as important and serious in the moment in time in which we find ourselves, sharpened by, of course, the whole question of climate change, surely the answer from a machinery of government point of view would be that you'd want something at least

Environment committee  There are several parts to an energy policy. It is important that the energy be cheap and safe. In my opinion, the primary challenge is climate change. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the major challenge over the next 20 years.

Environment committee   to carbon capture and storage. It may be part of a healthy strategy to resolve climate change issues, but not necessarily. Debate and studies in this area are what is needed; it's not a simple problem. Also, the famine issue in many countries is not only attributable to biofuels.

Environment committee  In Ontario recently, the government recognized that they just couldn't have a situation where everybody's job was going to be nobody's job. So they actually appointed a senior ADM in the premier's office, with responsibility for delivering on climate change commitments

Environment committee   of a particular environmental issue in the compendium. So if you were to look at the recently released 2008 edition of this publication, you would see that its thematic article covered climate change. And we've done a variety of other issues; we've covered transportation and the environment

Environment committee  --in government and in opposition. We can't forget that every time we tried to move, we had a Prime Minister who denied that climate change existed--sorry, who's now Prime Minister. We had a leader of the opposition who claimed that it didn't exist. Our chair, in fact.... Okay

Environment committee  It's interesting that you mention crisis, because oftentimes when we have witnesses before us here, with respect to issues like climate change or toxins in the environment, they do speak in terms of crisis, that inevitability of the momentum of the thing. Is this bill meant

Environment committee   on that-- 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Bill C-377, An Act to ensure Canada assumes its responsibilities in preventing dangerous climate change, be deemed adopted; that the Bill, as amended, be deemed adopted and that the Chair report the Bill as amended to the House; and that, pursuant to Standing

Environment committee   that will help fight climate change, I think that's a good suggestion. I don't want to stop anybody else from making a comment, but what I would ask is that we have 10 minutes to talk about that and then come back and see if we can move forward. Thank you.

Environment committee   to debate this motion. We have a speaking list. I don't know how long everybody can keep speaking; that is totally up to you. I will constantly try to listen and to keep people on topic, which is two minutes: is it long enough or isn't it long enough to make your points about climate

Environment committee   on topic and I am committed to doing that. Speaking to the importance of dealing with cleaner water, which is part of the environment, you cannot deal with clean water and policies—and even sharing those—within the limitations of two minutes. You can't deal with climate change

Environment committee  I believe it was indicated by the government that they would rather filibuster before the filibuster and delay before the delay. I'm offering an opportunity to get back to the bill so that we can talk about the environment and climate change at the environment committee. What
