Specifically to your questions around standards, one of the things we're doing with all first nations partners, provinces and large service providers like the Canadian Red Cross is building service standards into the multilateral agreements.
We have active multilateral agreement tables in all provinces with the goal of having these agreements done by the spring of 2027. In fact, we anticipate signing the first couple in the upcoming weeks. That will clarify service standards, recognizing, though, that 2027, if you're going to be the last jurisdiction to sign, is a long way away.
As the deputy mentioned, another related area is doing the hot washes and the lessons learned. For example, following the devastating fire season in Manitoba for first nations in 2025, we brought together all partners—first nations, the Canadian Red Cross, the province, ourselves and Public Safety—to do an in-depth review of what worked and what didn't work. That will inform standards in how we collaborate and coordinate going forward.
I think that's a good practice that the OAG flagged as needed, and that will inform service standards and ensure that we continue to learn lessons in real time in order to effect greater change going forward.
