It is indeed an emergency. I am happy to hear you say so. It gives us some hope. People in Verchères will also be happy, as well as my colleague Mr. Xavier Barsalou‑Duval.
On another topic, I would like to talk to you about the Canadian Coast Guard.
In Quebec, it has been brought up that certain emergency services were still not being offered effectively in French. A few facts have been reported on.
Budgets and equipment were also discussed. Although we are not talking about accidents like those we have seen on the Pacific side, people have still lost their lives because the Canadian Coast Guard was not equipped to save them. For example, I am thinking of the people who were paddleboarding in the Baie des Rochers.
Is there a budget set aside for the Canadian Coast Guard's equipment on the St. Lawrence River?
