“Climate change hurts poor countries the most. I want to know how Canada's money helps these countries cut emissions and protect themselves.”

“Madam Speaker, climate change is the reason I first joined the world of politics. It is one of the defining challenges of our time and hits the world’s most vulnerable the hardest. As the global economy transitions to low-carbon pathways to respond, developing countries are seeking partnerships to reduce emissions, build resilience and drive sustainable growth. Could the parliamentary secretary for international development tell the House how Canada’s international climate finance is finding solutions and delivering results for those most affected by climate change?”

“We are spending money to help developing countries fight climate change. This will bring in private money and create new opportunities for Canadian clean technology.”

“Madam Speaker, climate change is a global challenge that calls on all countries to act. It also presents opportunities for those willing to invest in the future. In our spring economic update, we renewed Canada’s international climate finance to help scale up investments in sustainable solutions across the developing world. It means crowding in private capital, including through FinDev Canada, to maximize the impact of every dollar and it means creating opportunities for Canadian clean tech, expertise and innovation to scale solutions around the world.”
