I have only a minute left and I want to get one question to Ms. Geddes from the Department of Public Safety.
I noticed that the $800 million that you are requesting for “Disaster Financial Assistance Arrangements” is on top of the $550 million that I believe was already allocated. That's more than 100% of what's already been allocated, which is going to bring our total financial commitments to $1.3 billion.
It's obvious that the costs related to climate change are going up and up. I would just like to know if the department is doing any kind of forecasts.
Is this $800 million next year going to turn into $1 billion and $2 billion the year after that?
I think taxpayers really need to have a clear picture of how the department is forecasting what future demands are going to be like.
