Our focus was on the emergencies, making sure that the resources were there.
Obviously Parks Canada can explain. However, I can tell you about the briefing that all of us received when we were on the ground. What I looked at, especially, was also from Alberta Wildfire service. They were also there. The preparation made was actually quite extensive, and that situation would have been worse.
When it comes to the management of fire-smarting, decisions about the best way to do it have to be made by a community. I'll give you an example. Yes, controlled burns are done, but at the same time, in the Yukon, through their preparations they moved it mechanically and turned it into more of an economic opportunity.
Each community has to decide how they want to do it, but let's not forget that the vegetation—what needs to grow and how it needs to be done—are also dependent on each area across the country as well.
