Thank you for your question. It's really important, and it's really timely because, as we all know, we are seeing flooding across the country. While we are seeing flooding, however, you have the Ford government that is cutting funding to support flood management by amazing conservation organizations with whom we work every single day.
We need to be doing more, not less, to protect our citizens, but the Ford government also made cuts to forest fire prevention and action. We know, as we saw last summer, the impacts of the fires across the country. This is about keeping people safe.
What are they spending money on? Stickers and $30 million fighting climate action in court. We need to be serious about climate action. We need to make decisions based on the science, the science to both tackle climate change and also to adapt to the impacts of climate change. Nature-based solutions are critically important.
We also need to use evidence and use measures that we know work, which include putting a price on pollution. Unfortunately, Andrew Scheer and Doug Ford don't seem to understand the science behind climate change or the evidence of what policies, like putting a price on pollution, work.
