Of course, we need to reduce emissions, fight climate change and slow down its effects. In this sense, our plan is working.
We must also adapt to the climate change effects already under way. To this end, we launched the national adaptation strategy, the first of its kind in Canada. This strategy will help us adapt to and mitigate the growing threats of climate change and extreme weather events.
We've also invested over $800 million to fight and prevent forest fires. For example, as part of the WildFireSat mission, satellite images help us spot forest fires, monitor them and fight them more effectively. In Natural Resources Canada's supplementary estimates (B), you'll find $4.5 million to modernize Canada's ground satellite infrastructure, which supports important missions such as the WildFireSat mission. I want to emphasize the need for this funding in the fight against forest fires. It's time for the Conservatives to stop blocking this critical funding.
