Environment committee   week of the motion being adopted. Not only did Environment and Climate Change Canada fail to respond within the timeline ordered by the committee, but they failed to provide the complete information the committee ordered. Instead of providing the committee with a carbon tax

Environment committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thanks as well to all the witnesses for being with us. Mr. Sanford, in your opening remarks, I think you painted the most comprehensive picture of the impact of climate change on human life as a whole. In particular, you discussed agriculture

Environment committee  Yes, we used to talk a lot about adapting to climate change or reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Perhaps that was because we hadn't acted quickly or forcefully enough over the years, but my sense now is that we talk more about adaptation than mitigation, although both

Environment committee  Thank you very much. My next question is for Mr. Sandford from the UN University Institute. You mentioned that you feel like we're chasing after climate change with a hope of catching up right now. We've heard several questions around this bill regarding the cost of putting

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
