Thank you.

I have a few questions for the officials who are here from Parks Canada.

Parks Canada is seeking over $37 million in operating expenditures, grants and contributions for “Funding for wildfire response requirements”. Please describe the wildfire response that this funding covers.

Are Parks Canada employees responding to wildfires themselves, or is Parks Canada funding other groups to respond?
