Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess I have a number of questions on this page. I note the intent of this division is to prevent and reduce the impact of human activities with a conservation goal. Yet, when I read about the climate change program section, there’s not a word about prevention in there, there’s not a word about forecasting the impacts of climate change and providing expert advice to our government on the likely costs and impacts of that. I’ll use, for an example, forestry. We heard a forestry expert interviewed this morning on CBC, and he noted that the average area burned… I can’t remember; I didn’t catch what geographic area it was in, whether it was Canada’s or North America’s increase by 100 percent since the ‘70s and that’s expected to double again over the next number of years.

Again, just looking ahead to the forestry section, I don’t see that sort of awareness and planning. I wonder if the Minister has any thoughts about the need for a more proactive role. Prevention, first of all, has to be part of our gig on climate change, but also I say there’s a real need throughout government for expert advice, which I believe would come from this division and this section specifically. Thank you.
