No, the federal government has not yet come to the table with investments. I understand that perhaps there may be conversations that have started government to government.
Recognizing that the disasters we're seeing and the billions of dollars being put out by the federal government to react to the disasters happening in British Columbia can be dramatically rectified by pre-emptively investing in these natural defences, the watershed security fund would be a critical opportunity for the federal government to move forward not only on some of their financial commitments around the freshwater action plan, but also through infrastructure, agriculture and advancing UNDRIP and reconciliation.
That could happen by partnering with the provinces to provide the investments on the ground in watersheds that need to happen in order to make our communities more climate-resilient.
