Environment committee  It's crucial. It's the key to success. I have said that climate change is upon us. Like it or not, that's a reality. We have to work towards solutions. One step would be to do a kind of lessons learned exercise collectively. You have a lot of questions, and here I'm talking

Environment committee   protection and enforcement, which have long been talked about but not acted upon. As everyone knows, the commissioner's report demonstrates that to tackle climate change, neither advertising campaigns nor preening on the international stage can substitute for strong domestic action

Environment committee  Thank you for your question, and thank you for the petition you've brought before me. This petition is of no surprise to me. I know full well the commitment that Canadians have to the issue of climate change. I also know the full commitment they have to seeing the improvement

Environment committee  A lot of your caucus members have. The Prime Minister cast a doubt over the very science of climate change only last week, asking how can we possibly have any certainty over what's happening in the climate over decades if we can't predict the weather next week.

It's important, though, and I've tried to make it as clear as possible that the best way we can make a contribution internationally to this agenda is to have

Environment committee  I will be very brief, Minister. Thank you for coming. As the spokesperson for your government on environment and also as the chair of the UN's Conference of the Parties, does your government believe that climate change and global warming are the most important environmental
