Madam Speaker, I understand what is going on in committee. However, I would like to come back to the title of the bill. I imagine that it could perhaps be amended in committee if the work were to be done. I would like to point out that even the Paris Agreement talks about a just transition, and that is the term that is used at all levels, internationally. I would to like to come back to the substance of the bill. Why does this bill not include the internationally recognized term “just transition” in its title?

Madam Speaker, I would like to change tack. First of all, yes, there is a connection between Ukraine and food security, because wars do nothing to help food security. Wars are not the only issue. There is also climate change. Looking back at what happened in Quebec this summer, farmers were hit hard by the flooding and everything else, and they are asking Ottawa for emergency assistance. This request was made in August. It is now December, and Ottawa still has not provided any assistance. I would like my colleague to comment on that.
