I have two answers to that question.
Firstly, we are quite well organized with one another and with witnesses on this committee. Many of us spoke ahead of this event and Watershed Watch has been bringing together our allies to have these conversations for years.
The other venue that's been ongoing was organized by the Fraser Basin Council. It was called the Lower Mainland flood management strategy. We had high hopes that this would be a good venue to organize a coordinated response. Ultimately, many of us ceased to attend that umbrella planning function because we didn't find it to be effective. There was an environment subcommittee that didn't seem to be feeding into the larger planning, and DFO was absent from that table.
We're asking for a refresh on that, maybe with the province taking a stronger lead, so all the right people can be involved. We know who we are. We're reaching out to the province and the provincial-federal committee. In fact, we're offering to help host a meeting to get us all together to have these conversations in the short term.
