I would echo what Mr. Goodyear is saying. I think investing in the sector is incredibly important—into NGOs but also in those provincial agencies, municipal agencies and federal forces that we may put together. I think that investment is going to be incredibly important. It's not just the Canadian Armed Forces here that we want to protect from the increased burden; this is going to be a burden that's coming across the whole sector.
I think that coordination among those agencies is going to be incredibly important so that we can have a common operating picture about how we work and what roles we're taking on during various emergencies. I would just go back to that previous incident command system conversation. It would be so important to me to have that standardized training and standardized method of organizing ourselves across the country. That will become increasingly important as these emergencies increase and as the various agencies come into these various emergencies.
I would just point out that I think there's a very successful model to build on there with the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, which is probably decades ahead of its time in how it coordinates between jurisdictions on wildland fire response. I think there are a lot of lessons to learn from that agency.
