Thank you for the question. I can't really speak to the bill or the framework, but I can tell you what we are currently doing and how we are collaborating with British Columbians.
We work very collaboratively with B.C. We have a cost-sharing program with them for flood mapping. We have over 11 projects with them. We've already completed 11 maps that impact 81 communities. We are targeting to have maps to support over 60 communities. As well, every time there is a flood, Natural Resources Canada provides support to first responders in every province. Since 2018, we've provided 39 emergency flood maps for first responders in B.C.
We've heard from our colleagues in British Columbia. We did a survey in 2025 to better understand how the collaborative work is progressing. B.C. has highlighted the importance of the partnership. They would likely continue working on floods but at a reduced pace without continued federal support.
