Environment committee Thank you, Chair. Thank you, witnesses. I appreciate the testimony that we've heard so far. Of course, climate change is a major issue when we're dealing with pollution. One of my huge concerns is plastic pollution in our oceans. That is regularly discussed, but I think Leona b

Environment committee The reason I'm asking you is that you mentioned that Canada is open and transparent in the negotiations with our international partners. Are you involved with that—in that open, transparent dialogue with international partners—or would that be Mr. Jones?

Environment committee Mr. Jones, are we going to meet our targets?
October 16th, 2018Committee meeting
Mark Warawa
Environment committee I'm going to have to interrupt you, Mr. Jones. All of the reports to this point have been that we're not going to meet our targets. You've said that in a year we're going to have met the targets. It's an impossible target. The IPCC is saying it's an impossible target. What is E

Environment committee How are we going to meet the 2030 target?

Mark Warawa

October 16th, 2018Committee meeting
Mark Warawa
Environment committee Thank you so much. I want to thank the witnesses for coming. My first comments were going to be a little different, but I want to set the record straight. I'm from British Columbia; it has a carbon tax. The cost of living, affordability, is the biggest struggle in British Colum

Environment committee You originally had grain coming from Canada, and now those who grow in Canada actually sell the crop in Canada and provide the funding to you, and then you send that funding to another country where they will grow the grain there. Is that correct?
October 18th, 2018Committee meeting
Mark Warawa
Environment committee So the more money we send, the more hungry people we can help. Is it that simple?
October 18th, 2018Committee meeting
Mark Warawa
Environment committee We're right in the middle of a debate as to whether a carbon tax is good for Canada. Canadian farmers, in fact the Grain Growers of Canada, have said they don't support a price on carbon because it increases the price. It means less money to help people in Africa, those who need

Environment committee Giving a tax-deductible receipt the same as for a political donation would mean more money in your pocket. Is that something you may be interested in?
