Environment committee  , thankfully, are giving us for our study. I'm looking at the output-based pricing system fund, the price on pollution and the returning of money to provinces, as well as to Canadians directly, to try to spur on clean technology development. Maybe starting with Environment and Climate

We have a national ecological monitoring program with a number of indicators that we can look at to see how climate might be impacting ecological integrity in parks. Of course, it's very complex

The second thing we do is influence public policy along these lines. We believe very strongly in the power and the means offered by clean technologies to initiate the green

Environment committee   pillars of activity around acceleration, adoption and ecosystem alignment. I'm happy to discuss some different program details as required. Tackling climate change takes collaboration. With our partners and networks, our programs have helped more than 850 Canadian companies validate

Environment committee  . However, it also needs to be well directed and aligned. Also, we need to make sure there is proper accountability so that these programs and investments are actually contributing to protecting the environment and fighting climate change. In the innovation sector right now

Environment committee  If I may, I would like to add to what Ms. Jackson said. Clean technologies are of course not the only solution to climate change. We also have to protect natural environments and change our consumption habits. It is clear though that we must adopt clean technologies

Environment committee  I call the meeting back to order. We'll start now, so that we can finish not too late. We have with us at the moment Dr. Christina Hoicka, Canada research chair in urban planning for climate change, and Francis Bradley, president and CEO of Electricity Canada. I think

Environment committee  Hello. Thank you for having me here. My Canada tri-council-funded research focuses on renewable energy transitions for communities in Canada and on nearly every continent. Canada can reach its 2030 targets to uphold its pledge made to the UNFCCC, which are only eight years away,

Environment committee  , including from the nuclear sector itself, they are not likely to be ready immediately. The time frames are really important. If we don't meet the 2030 and then the 2050 time frame, the impacts of climate change become far more disastrous to current and future generations. We're already

Environment committee  Yes, absolutely. I'll start with the climate crisis. What we're seeing around the globe and here in Canada—I've experienced it both in Toronto and in British Columbia—is around extreme events and weather hazards due to climate change. This could be extreme heat events requiring

Environment committee  This is a really good question. Those are absolutely what we should be thinking about and where we should be going. Addressing climate change and energy use at the urban scale is a really critical lever that we have. For example, having waste heat capture and usage

Environment committee   in space, we expect to be supporting the mitigation of more than 50 million tonnes of emissions per year. The Government of Canada's space-based observation strategy calls for using satellites to generate solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation, and to measure key

Today, one million species are at risk of extinction, ecosystems are being devastated, and our Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest

Environment committee   protection, and a solution for the impacts of climate change on the Great Lakes and surrounding waterways, like the melting of ice roads and the flooding of lowlands and environmentally sensitive areas—

Environment committee  , Steve. I want to explore the KPIs that are involved with climate change. One of them has to do with the species that we're losing at an alarming rate. We've had a good discussion about innovation today. We talk about climate change in terms of weather impacts or climate impacts
