Thank you, Chair.
I'm also very grateful for the service of both of our witnesses and all you do to keep our country and our communities safe, and of course, Chief McKearney, for keeping Whistler safe.
As part of the budget this year, there is a significant investment of over half a billion dollars to fight wildfires. In part of this budget, there's funding to train 1,000 additional firefighters, as well as to incorporate indigenous traditional knowledge in fire management.
How does the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs work with indigenous leadership to incorporate traditional knowledge in fire management? What advice can you give this committee on this topic?
