I think it's fantastic that those discussions are proceeding. The fire marshalls and the firefighting units in a lot of the rural first nations communities are, to me, some of the last iterations of the older societies that were tasked with protecting the indigenous communities. It's just a modern iteration of old social structures in place.
For it to be purposed maximally to look at pests and fire and all of this, you would have to have the larger coordinating group that they would fit in with. They could fit in with the forest-based entities in the region, the provincial authorities there, the territorial authorities, and make it a cross-member, multi-entity task group. That's how you would get the best performance and the best reception and effectiveness of that group.
It needs to be supported. It needs to be strengthened because, as you know, in many rural first nations and indigenous communities, there's no local RCMP detachment and no emergency response in place outside of volunteers. With the drying landscape that we're seeing right now, they could be the core of the first responder corps that we need for some of the conflagrations, which we know are coming. We can say that now. We know that there are increasing conflagrations coming on the landscape. We don't know when and where, but they're there.
I'm happy to support that question and that idea.
