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?

Environment committee  So the more money we send, the more hungry people we can help. Is it that simple?

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  How? How are we going to meet it? Is it by increasing the price of carbon?

Environment committee  The IPCC report indicates we need to do much more. They're suggesting that we quadruple the price on carbon. I'm from British Columbia. Canadians are groaning, particularly seniors on fixed incomes. Would you agree that, internationally, Canada needs to.... According to the gov

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.
