Thank you for your question, Mr. Amos, and thank you very much for the work that you are doing.
I know how much the people in the Pontiac are suffering, as are the people in Quebec, Gatineau, Ottawa—I was in Constance Bay, where I filled sandbags with the people—and in New Brunswick. When we went through the 2017 flooding, we thought it was the flood of the century. However, this phenomenon is now happening every two years. These floods are extremely costly, not only in terms of rebuilding the houses. They are also very costly in people's lives. I see how much these people are suffering.
Doug Ford went to Constance Bay and said that something must be happening. Yes, something is happening and that is climate change. We must take action and tackle it. We must protect people. That is why we are investing in adaptation. We have a $2-billion fund to help people adapt to climate change. We also have the new Canadian Climate Services Centre to help people and we have a plan to address climate change. We are working with the people in the Pontiac region. We stand by them, as we stand by all Canadians.
