Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to Parks Canada for being here.
Mr. Shepherd, thank you for the incredible work you've done on behalf of Canada.
Minister, briefly, could you describe the governance around this issue? You mentioned adaptation. Forest fires are increasing, and climate change is going to continue that trajectory for decades while we fight the crisis that we're in with climate change.
I've heard in the House that the increased cost on pollution we're putting in place to try to bend the curve on climate change didn't stop the forest fires.
Could you talk about the governance that we're putting in place, the trajectory that we're trying to change and how we're working with firefighters, with national parks and with provincial and municipal counterparts?
It's hard to paint that picture in a few minutes, but if you could start on that, then I'd like to go over to Mr. Shepherd about some of the operational details.
