Environment committee  Absolutely. There are natural biological cycles that seem to be present in every wildlife population. I couldn't agree with you more on climate change. We've had big weather events forever, and we'll probably continue to have them forever. Populations of wildlife are never

Environment committee  Yes. There are larger factors at play in the world than what hunters themselves can control for the wildlife. That's the point that I think people have to understand as well, that climate change and industrialization are things that actually do impact on the animal populations.

Environment committee  , no caribou, no caribou—and then they came back. It may be related to climate change. It may just be some cycle that we don't understand yet.

Environment committee   years ago has made a great recovery. I don't think it's doom and gloom for caribou. I think they will recover. As to how much of it is related to climate change and how much of it is a natural cycle, I don't know.

Environment committee  , which are moving inland. We see massive movements. Muskox now are moving south in the Northwest Territories, and we've certainly seen impacts on our caribou herds from climate change. Within other regions, I guess, climate change hasn't really had that impact. Does anyone want

Environment committee  As we've mentioned, the climate change we're experiencing right now, with an amount of moisture that we haven't had for a number of years, is such that, as we quite often comment in our field, when it's raining, we're considering building arks, and it's helping ducks and fish

Environment committee  Mr. Lowry, Alberta has a climate change fund from the large emitters. They have a series of interesting programs for mitigation, adaptation, and so on. I see that your organization is into a program of land conservation, etc. Is the fund permitted to compensate your

Environment committee  , protecting biodiversity and wildlife is an important matter. Yesterday was Earth Day. Just prior to it, we found out about the Conservatives’ 2015-2016 budget. It did not even mention climate change. That is why I would like to submit the following motion, which I introduced on February

Environment committee  Thank you very much for your comments on land use planning for habitat conservation. Another issue you have raised in your research is the impact of climate change on caribou populations and other populations. You have done a lot of research on that. How does climate change

Environment committee   arrive, so the nutritional status of many of the northern migratory herds has been affected as a consequence of climate change. The climate is changing more in the north than anywhere else on the planet.

Environment committee   a species is actually bombarded with, some habitat loss, combined with climate change, combined with an invasive species that comes in, combined with some different land use strategies that affect it, it all adds up to something you never would have predicted in the beginning. Science

Environment committee   decision regarding habitat or climate change that we engage everyone in the conversation. Science drives the decision ultimately, but in order to have our stakeholders, our communities buy into any change and buy into the policy that is developed, we have to engage them and ask

Environment committee   it's quite admirable. As well, Mr. Mack, the information that you provided us on the conservation piece is quite important. When I look at what has been happening with the climate change piece, I think we have to be mindful of some of the information Mr. Latraverse and Mr. Craik

Environment committee  Climate change is obviously something that has to be taken into account for all natural resource management strategies. Really, if you look at one of the largest threats we have in the world now, it's loss of biodiversity. The largest threats in that loss of biodiversity would

Environment committee  I think the issue of climate change is inextricably intertwined with hunting, trapping, fishing, and certainly environmental policy and overall land management. We have seen more incidents of severe weather right across the country—
