Thank you so much.
I'm going to direct my first questions to Mayor Bousez. I hope I pronounced that properly.
You really brought this down to the people level. You talked about how it impacts people on the ground when an extreme event happens like that. Two of the things you spoke of were a more robust communications ability and the protection of utilities.
In my riding of Port Moody—Coquitlam, we have a Coquitlam amateur radio emergencies safety society. We've leaned on that amateur radio society before in emergencies.
I wanted to understand from you, Mayor, how these emergencies impact people on the ground, just thinking of it more locally. What can the federal government do to support better communications, or at least a plan B and a utilities plan B?
