Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for his support and hard work on this very important file.
Canadians expect that the federal government's response to an emergency will be seamless and that key decisions can be made quickly and effectively when disaster strikes.
That is why today this Conservative government has released a federal emergency response plan. This plan provides an integrated response for emergency management. Furthermore, this plan also takes the important step of coordinating responses across levels of government and private organizations.
Canadians can be assured that we are taking care of their safety.
