We are absolutely plugged in to the situation across the nation. We are working very closely with Public Safety, the government operations centre, and other government departments—the Public Health Agency, Health, and Indigenous Services Canada.
In fact, the Canadian Armed Forces, along with some of our other federal government partners, spent most of the weekend talking about the situation in Manitoba and many other jurisdictions throughout the country. We are quite in tune with the evolving situation, to answer your specific question about the province of Manitoba.
We have engaged in interactions with some of our provincial partners to better understand the requirements and needs. If a request for federal government assistance or Canadian Armed Forces assistance comes across, our chief of the defence staff will be prepared to provide advice to our minister and, if requested, to dynamically task troops to help Canadians in their time of need.
