Mr. Trehearne, thank you very much for your presentation.
You talked about the criteria you use to assess whether a municipality or a province is running out of resources, and you said that the CAF is always considered a source of last resort. You mentioned specifically the material and human resources available and other possible solutions. I imagine that with each request for assistance from the armed forces, you assess the response capacity of the municipalities and provinces.
As we've already heard, the number of extreme weather events is increasing due to climate change. How has the preparedness or response capacity of municipalities and provinces evolved? Has it improved in the last twenty years, for example? Is it worse? Is it the same? Their capacity to respond is another factor to consider when calling in the military.
