Yes.
As my colleague outlined, as part of the assessments identified in the first three parts of the bill, it's possible that gaps will be identified that need to be addressed that are outside the flood forecasting service as mentioned here.
One example that was already mentioned is interoperability of data. It's entirely possible that in the course of the assessment, we would identify some gaps or challenges across provinces and territories and the federal government that may need to be addressed for this to happen. Broadening the strategy's language in this way will enable us to address some of these potentially fundamental issues that need to be addressed before there's a national flood forecasting capability.
