Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My first question is for you, Mr. Gault. I want to echo the thanks to your members. Their heroic action is constantly keeping communities safe. We've heard a lot about the courage of your members. We've heard politicians thank them, but oftentimes those thanks ring hollow if there isn't the support and the resources they need.
Before the Jasper fire and leading up into this wildfire season, what you were hearing from firefighters? Can you talk a little bit about what concerns were being raised?
