She would have better stats on it than I would. As a former mayor of Iqaluit, she knows these issues very well.
The extra investment in climate change-proofing is incredibly important for our communities. As you know, we evacuated Yellowknife in 2023 due to wildfire threats. We've had several communities evacuate and move again this year as a result of flooding. The biggest fear I always have is what may happen with our infrastructure—especially power generation, if it fails on a -35°C or -40°C day.
Making sure that our infrastructure is climate-proof generally is an extremely important thing. I think those extra investments are always important for the Government of Canada to recognize, because ultimately, not climate-proofing our infrastructure will often cost us more in the long run as we respond to those emergencies, rather than having planned for them.
