Environment committee  We'll certainly continue to push to have them brought back to the Kootenays, because they were very important for freshwater protection. Related to that, the Province of B.C. now has check stations when you come into the province, where they pull over all vessels of any kind. It

Environment committee  I just felt badly for the boat owners who hauled their boats all the way from Ontario and weren't allowed to put them in the water in British Columbia when they got there. That needs to change going forward. I have a question quickly on oil and gas subsidies. I know that the Dep

Environment committee  Thank you, Commissioner. It's good to see you—unfortunately, perhaps for the last time. I'll direct my questions to you, and you can redirect them appropriately. My riding is Kootenay—Columbia, located in southeastern British Columbia. My question is for Fisheries and Oceans. I

Environment committee  Going back to my time as a mayor, we all had emergency response plans in place. How do you think municipalities are doing in adapting emergency response plans to the reality of climate change?

You said there were four provinces represented on it. I'm just curious which ones they were and how they were selected to be on

Environment committee  Okay. I've worked at the municipal level as a mayor, and I've been with provincial government and now federally. From the Insurance Bureau's perspective, what makes you shake your head and say, “Why isn't the municipality doing this?” What should the municipalities, provinces an

Environment committee  Is the Insurance Bureau funding any proactive initiatives related to climate change? For example, would the insurance industry produce best management practices on water management, or any of those kinds of initiatives? Are you putting your money into any proactive things related

Environment committee  I'm very happy to hear that. In the end, we all have the same objective—trying to keep homeowners safe, maybe for different reasons potentially, but that objective is certainly there. Mr. Moreau, is your company a private company that specializes in emergency management? Is that

Environment committee  It's going to be a lot of work for municipalities right across Canada.

Environment committee  Mr. Keen, just quickly, is there any federal funding currently for trees?

Environment committee  No? Do you think there should be?
