Mr. Speaker, I thank the member opposite for bringing this up. I know that he and I, all members of this House and all Canadians stand with British Columbians during this extraordinarily difficult time. We are, as he said, in close contact with provincial authorities to make sure we are prepared for any further aid required.
Federal resources have been on the ground since the very beginning, and we now have up to 500 CAF members on the ground, sandbagging, rescuing livestock and providing food and support to remote communities.
We will continue to be there to support people in B.C. as we get through this and as we rebuild. It is what Canadians do: We stick up for each other; we are there for each other and we will continue.
