I have staff meetings with the 500 employees we have on the ground there. It's devastating to see that 200 of them have lost their homes. It's devastating to talk to them. It's devastating that they were the ones who were helping to get everybody else out. They were the ones fighting the fire. They were the ones running the incident command centre. They were the ones providing meals. They were the ones making sure that people got in.
I think the thing they are looking for—and, certainly, what our employees are looking for—is that there is and will continue to be a Jasper that they can call home going into the future. They are resilient for that, and they are looking forward to everything we can do to help them do that. That is why the piece of legislation before you is important. It provides a North Star for how the rebuild will happen.
