Let me make one last comment about the work and the lack of coordination, or the lack of openness about taking into account what experts have said. Mr. Ken Hodges, a forester, had this to say: “If we don't reduce dead material in the forest, we run the risk of a fire similar to the one in Waterton [National Park].” In 2017, a fire caused by lightning destroyed 30% of this national park, and forest firefighters took two weeks to bring it under control.
There are specialized researchers at Parks Canada. In fact, there are researchers in every government department, but there are also researchers outside the government. The lack of coordination between the two groups, and the lack of openness to sharing data, means that we're not making any headway. There will be more and more unfortunate events due to climate change. Therefore, data exchange should be more and more frequent.
