That's a really good question, Mr. Chair.
Climate change is having a significant impact on the work we do. If we just look at incident management, as an example, there are wildfires, flooding and hurricanes. The response that we have at the Coast Guard is from a maritime perspective, but we're also able to offer capacities with our expertise in incident management and incident command systems. We also have expertise with our helicopters, including with the Canadian Air Force, and we are bringing this together.
It has changed the work that we do. We see what has happened in some of the incidences where we have vessels of concern or those that we potentially have to respond to because of oil spills on the water. That has changed, and we are now working with first nations indigenous communities, because it is a partnership. It's within their communities on the water, so we have to engage with them. When we send up incident command posts, we bring in first nations as part of the command team, so that they have a say in what happens.
