We very much appreciate your expertise.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2641522\" data-originallang=\"en\">Like you, I'm interested in prevention. I'm surprised that one of the issues that has not come up today is climate change. The World Bank-funded global invasive species program reports that in a warmer world, more extreme weather and higher levels of carbon dioxide will give some species an edge, devastating ecosystems at sea and on land. We know that species that have already invaded North America may find new suitable habitats to invade, thereby expanding their range. Moreover, there may be a better match between suitable habitats in Canada and the source homelands. So you may get new exotic species invading and atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide may favour certain species separate from the warming.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2641523\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ms. Wallin, could you discuss the potential economic impacts of climate change on invasive species, recognizing of course that you don't know what will invade? </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2641520\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le pr\u00e9sident.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2641521\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci \u00e0 vous tous. Nous sommes tr\u00e8s reconnaissants des comp\u00e9tences dont vous nous faites profiter.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2641522\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme vous, je suis int\u00e9ress\u00e9e \u00e0 la pr\u00e9vention. Je m'\u00e9tonne que, aujourd'hui, il n'ait pas encore \u00e9t\u00e9 question de changement climatique. D'apr\u00e8s le Programme mondial sur les esp\u00e8ces envahissantes, financ\u00e9 par la Banque mondiale, dans un monde plus chaud, la m\u00e9t\u00e9o plus extr\u00eame et les concentrations plus \u00e9lev\u00e9es de gaz carbonique donneront l'avantage \u00e0 certaines esp\u00e8ces, aux d\u00e9pens d'\u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes marins et terrestres qui seront d\u00e9vast\u00e9s. Nous savons que les esp\u00e8ces qui ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 envahi l'Am\u00e9rique du Nord sont susceptibles de trouver de nouveaux habitats convenables \u00e0 envahir, ce qui leur permettra d'agrandir leur aire d'extension. En outre, les habitats convenables du Canada et les r\u00e9gions d'o\u00f9 viennent ces esp\u00e8ces risquent davantage de correspondre entre eux. On risque donc d'\u00eatre envahi par de nouvelles esp\u00e8ces exotiques, tandis que les concentrations de gaz carbonique risquent de favoriser certaines esp\u00e8ces, ind\u00e9pendamment du r\u00e9chauffement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2641523\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame Wallin, pourriez-vous nous dire quelles seraient les r\u00e9percussions \u00e9conomiques possibles d'un changement climatique sur les esp\u00e8ces envahissantes, \u00e9tant bien s\u00fbr entendu que vous ne savez pas desquelles il s'agit?</p>"
