Environment committee  First of all, I thank you for that very, very important question and observation. We are only beginning to see just what those costs might look like. We first have to determine exactly what kinds of impacts we're talking about. When climate change migrations become a crisis

Environment committee   waited so long to act on the threat, climate heating has gotten away from us. What scientists and governments must do now is chase after it with the hope of catching up and getting ahead of it. Our current global situation takes us beyond the first stage of climate change impacts

Environment committee  Yes, I will. Caterina is a retired actuary. She has been concerned about climate change for about 30 years. As an actuary, she joined actuarial committees studying climate change and sustainability. She chaired the committee that created the Actuaries Climate Index in about

Environment committee  Climate change is causing a lot of problems for farmers, who are on the front line. How will this strategy be able to help them plan their season more effectively?

Environment committee   is investing over $227 million in the ongoing Flood Hazard Identification and Mapping program...to meet this need by updating and expanding its existing flood mapping capabilities.... Natural Resources Canada leads [this program] in partnership with Environment and Climate Change Canada

Environment committee  It's one of the challenges, obviously, with predicting climate change and the impacts. I think what's perhaps more easily accessible are the land use changes that have happened over a number of years, but that's also information that's held and known more locally. How would you

Environment committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Scarpaleggia. Mr. Pomeroy, welcome to the committee for a second time. A reminder to the committee that you are the Canada research chair in water resources and climate change at the University of Saskatchewan. The floor is yours for five minutes.

Environment committee   brought our technologies together and worked together as a country on this exceedingly difficult problem. Flood and drought damages have risen dramatically in Canada since then and are expected to rise further due to extreme weather and water events, thanks to climate change coupled

Environment committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. First, I would like to thank Dr. John Pomeroy for being here today at the table with me. Dr. Pomeroy is the Canada research chair in water resources and climate change. He is the inspiration behind this bill. He helped to draft this bill, and he

Environment committee  Yes, it was the notice of motion from March 19 that the committee order the production of “Environment and Climate Change Canada's provincial-territorial computable general equilibrium model”, with a whole bunch of technical stuff in it.

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. The modelling is available and demonstrates that pollution pricing is working. Surely, the Conservatives wouldn't be moving this motion if they didn't believe that climate change existed or that the emissions are coming down. Perhaps this is progress

Environment committee  In terms of greenhouse gas and acidification.... In our mining project, obviously, we don't see acidification as a big impact. Your previous comment on drought and climate change is very interesting in that one of the key components of our regulatory review is the impact

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to all of our witnesses and experts for attending today. This is a really remarkable panel. My question is related to water scarcity and climate change. As the weather changes and as the climate warms, and as we've seen in southwestern Ontario

Environment committee   impact on our natural environment and on climate change. PFAS are the worst of both. They're invisible, they have a really negative impact and they're much more difficult to clean up. They may be as hard to clean up as CO2 is to remove from the atmosphere. Do you have any

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to start with the environment commissioner. In your opening remarks, you mentioned excessive nutrients. I know you have a study coming up in 2024 on fertilizer emissions, but you also mentioned the coordination between Environment and Climate
