Absolutely, 100%. The tools are there and the Canadian wildland fire strategy speaks to.... You refer to FireSmart Canada. It's an excellent tool for communities to build resiliency, to be prepared for these types of situations. The only thing lacking is the investment piece. That was recognized in 2005. It was confirmed in 2016, and it was talked about again in Halifax this year with the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers.
There is a plan in place. There are tools to do exactly what you said, and what is missing is the investment. I personally think the Government of Canada can play a huge role in leadership to help increase the amount of fire smart and mitigation strategies across this country and work with communities to become resilient.
