Thank you.
I have a couple of quick questions for Parks Canada. I am the critic for Parks Canada, although I prefer "advocate", because that's really what I am.
The $26.7 million is basically to cover last year's costs, I assume.
Is there going to be money in this budget anticipating additional natural disasters like fires, particularly in British Columbia where I'm from? Climate change is not going away.
Second, it was announced that people aged 17 and under will have free entrance to parks. This is perhaps more a budget question, but are there operational dollars to replace lost revenue from the decrease in entrance fees?
The third question is specifically for my riding of Kootenay—Columbia, where there are four national parks, Kootenay, Yoho, Revelstoke, and Glacier. I would love to see additional money going into the highway, particularly through Revelstoke and Glacier parks, where there continues to be an unreasonably high level of fatalities.
