Mr. Chair, as I said, we are grateful to the members of the Canadian Armed Forces who are currently assisting those affected by the flooding in Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick. That is part of their duties, and they are always there to help the affected communities. As the minister has said repeatedly, the Canadian Armed Forces belong to the communities. I know that Canadian Armed Forces members care deeply about communities, because I saw it first-hand during the ice storm that lasted nearly 20 days in 2017. They were on the ground every single day to help the community get through that difficult time.
