This is an issue we’ve really only entered as an area of real concern in the last while. We have been moving toward having adaptation plans. However, the Member is right: we are probably only doing a lot of mitigation efforts. We are really in the early stages of getting a handle on what we can do or where we can go with the communities. We’re operating more on a project-by-project basis and doing a lot of the baseline analysis of where we need to go.
One of the tools we have for our use is the Integrated Community Sustainability Plan. Other departments are doing things in their areas of responsibility — building design; Public Works is looking at that.
Overall, government-wide there is a committee put together…. There are actually two communities, I believe. But from the Cabinet area of responsibility, we have an Energy Committee that is headed up by Bob McLeod, and the deputy ministers also work together to try to deal with this issue. However, I have to say we don't have an overall plan, and we're still in the early stages of maybe moving toward that.
