Environment committee , we don't have any sustainable development legislation, but we do have a strategy at least. You talked about the polluter-pay principle and the price of carbon. President Obama stressed the importance of a major shift when it comes to tackling climate change and adapting
June 3rd, 2014Committee meeting
Environment committee I understand that, but, again, I want to go back to the simple point, to zero in on it, because our government is being criticized all the time on the climate change issue. You're basically saying if we did everything that the opposition demanded us to do, demanded

Environment committee Your time is over. I want to remind committee members, however, of the statement that made by our minister on page 13. We're not only addressing issues in Canada but also committing $1.2 billion to support a range of climate change projects in 60 developing countries

The ChairConservative
Environment committee I don't know who to direct this to, but since climate change seems to be the issue du jour, can any one of you tell me what meetings you've had with the oil and gas industry in the last six months? What was the state of the negotiations? Is there any chance that we are going

Environment committee for a number of years, that it's important to get all of the emitters around the table. We all have a role to play, but everybody has to be there. We're a player, but we're relatively small. By ourselves, we are not going to influence the course of climate change. At the same time, we

Environment committee weather events and linking it to doing something about these extreme weather events, who immediately dive into the topic of reducing carbon emissions and dealing with climate change, there's an obvious question that arises. The minister made the point that Canada has 2% of carbon

Robert SopuckConservative
Environment committee Thank you again, minister. Everyone has said that you won't be able to reach the low climate change targets by 2020. Even Environment Canada officials have said so. How many megatonnes are you short as far as reaching your 2020 target goes?
May 29th, 2014Committee meeting
Environment committee Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to address quickly some of Mr. McKay's concerns about an investment in climate change. In the national conservation plan that we just unveiled, there's $50 million for wetland rehabilitation, $50 million for uplands, and $100 million for natural

Environment committee Perfect. Discussions during the summit will focus on post-2020 commitments. What post-2020 commitments does Canada plan to make in regard to climate change?
May 29th, 2014Committee meeting
Environment committee . To what extent do climate change reductions reflect steps taken by the provinces? What percentage of those reductions is due to the economic downturn? If you don't have the figures with you, could you send them to the committee in the coming weeks? Do you have the number?
May 29th, 2014Committee meeting
Environment committee Thank you, Minister, for attending here today. You mentioned black carbon. Black carbon is an important element in the fight against climate change. You know we both come from the two ridings that represent the high Arctic in Canada. In Canada today we produce 98,000 tonnes
May 29th, 2014Committee meeting
Environment committee Minister, your line item for climate change and clean air in the main estimates for 2014-15 is $154 million. In your plans and priorities, you go from $154 million in 2014-15 to $54 million two budget cycles later. How is it that your ministry can drop $100 million for climate
May 29th, 2014Committee meeting
John McKayLiberal
Environment committee If I have your questioning correctly, what you're pointing out is that we have a number of programs in Environment Canada—climate change and clean air being examples—for which we get time-limited funding, so we get it for five years or some other period of time. What you see
May 29th, 2014Committee meeting
Bob Hamilton
Environment committee You have to take note of the concern that Canadians have about the climate change initiatives. Rather than dealing with the reporting requirements as having a huge drop-off—and I would say a $60-million drop-off is pretty serious and another $100-million drop-off here is another
