Mr. Speaker, the people of British Columbia are in need of help. People have already died in British Columbia because of this disaster.
The people in that area, the mayor and others, are busy saving lives. It is now raining again in British Columbia, with a possible crisis, due a lot as I have said because of an environment minister who will not let rivers or creeks be dredged. This could have been avoided.
I want to know from the minister, is the government ready to be there now to help the people when they need the help?
