The same models that will be used for flood prediction can also be used for flood-plain prediction. The way to do that is to couple these to the climate change models of Environment Canada and then run future weather scenarios so that we see what the floods will be in 2050, 2080 and 2100 and build our infrastructure for the future, not for the past that our records present.
This is something that's essential for us to do, and the environment auditor brought it up as well that it is important for Canada. This bill actually addresses that through building that national prediction capacity.
