Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Etkin, in a media report, you commented on the flooding that hit Sainte‑Marthe‑sur‑le‑Lac in 2019. This is what you said:
Sainte-Marthe-sur-le-Lac was flooded not because there was a lot of rain but because we build communities in flood plains.
We are our own worst enemies in terms of how we create risks in society by short-term thinking, pursuit of profit and denial.
When it comes to disaster, risk and incident management, would you say that Canada is in prevention and preparation mode, or reaction mode?
