I'll provide a concrete example.
The national public alerting system is an initiative involving federal, provincial and territorial stakeholders, along with all emergency measures organizations. In this context, a forum is useful. By the way, the forum created in this area will likely be introduced soon. This forum will facilitate discussions between the provinces, territories and federal government.
We need to know how the federal government can use its expertise to ensure that alerts—such as Amber Alerts, forest fire warnings or alerts related to climate emergencies—are provided in both official languages.
Some progress is already being made. A test of the alert system took place last week. We noted that the alert was provided in both official languages, except in Saskatchewan and Alberta.
However, all stakeholders must work together. The system is extremely complex. I should add that it isn't just up to the federal government to address this situation. The provinces, territories and emergency measures organizations must also play a role, not to mention private sector providers.
The issue affects all Canadians. Keep in mind that an alert provided in both official languages will be understood by 98% of Canadians.
