Thank you, Minister Bains, for being here.
As you know, in my riding and across Quebec and Ontario we have had a lot of flooding. The federal government presently has the disaster financial assistance arrangements program that helps people after a flood. That flows through the Quebec government. Our government has also announced the disaster mitigation and adaptation fund, which is not just to come in and help after a disaster but to help mitigate it.
The third leg of that is technology, specifically clean technologies. We can use that to slow down these disasters, and also use our know-how to better prevent them. Could you explain how the clean technology fund that you're putting in place can do that?
