Environment committee  Mr. Chairman, the minister did in New York announce her intention to issue a notice of intent to regulate in the area of HFCs. That is important, in a sense, because of the relationship between the two environmental issues of climate change, on the one hand, and ozone depletion

Environment committee   this fall to work together, to talk about climate change going forward, both mitigation and adaptation. The final point I guess I'd make on that front—and Mike can certainly add to this— is that one of the things that's been important to us as we do this sector-by-sector regulatory

Environment committee   chapters of the commissioner's report, which address mitigating climate change, environmental monitoring, and marine navigation in the Canadian Arctic. I would first like to thank the new commissioner for her report and acknowledge the co-operation and engagement of those professionals

Environment committee   the target. That's what you wanted. Then you add charts B, C, and D. The charts give quite a variance between the low end and the high end of the various impacts of various emissions reductions. When you say, in 1.63, that Environment Canada could improve decision-makers' climate change

Environment committee  But don't you think that a regulation should have an environmental result? Again, your words are “to fight climate change”. I'm asking you what a successful fight against climate change would look like. What will we end up with? A reduction in CO2 is not a result, it is a means

Environment committee  Okay, Kim is pointing me to the first paragraph of our chapter 1. The impacts of climate change are impacts that are happening on the ground, and Natural Resources Canada—

Environment committee  Natural Resources Canada released a report very recently on all the various impacts that Canadians are seeing now due to climate change. If we want to reduce the impact of changing climate, one of the biggest things we need to do is reduce our greenhouse gas emissions

Environment committee  In the beginning, in the introduction, we do mention that climate change is one of the reasons that vessel traffic will likely increase, but we don't go any further than that.

Environment committee  Okay. In your recommendation to consider the changing environmental conditions, is it safe to assume that those implicitly include ice levels that are changing because of climate change and the impacts of that climate change? Do the environmental conditions include those?

Environment committee   the federal government not doing enough to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and “fight climate change”. In Canada what would a successful fight against climate change look like?

Environment committee   was cleaner waterways that these plants discharged into. I'm interested in the environmental result. The reduction of CO2 is a means to an end, and I'm asking you what that end would be for Canada. What are we going to see in a successful fight against climate change? I mean in Canada

Environment committee   climate change? Are you confident with the numbers that say that government will not meet its target?

Environment committee   say your audit around marine navigation did not in any way touch on climate change and the impact climate change would have. I don't think that was part of the mandate of your audit.

Environment committee   report. The audits I'm reporting on today underscore that the government does not have the answers to many questions that impact the future of sustainable development in Canada. When we last looked at climate change commitments in 2012, we concluded that the government's approach

Environment committee  That's fair, Mr. Louie. I have a question with regard to sewage. Has FCM done a vulnerability assessment of our infrastructure and the impacts of climate change on, for example, stormwater?
