Madam Speaker, I am sure that the government intends to do things better, but if any of the events I have mentioned this evening happen again, we are not prepared. We need to have a standing committee that meets every two weeks that includes federal, provincial, territorial, local governments and indigenous peoples and nations to share information.
The adaptation strategy from Environment Canada's plan around heat domes is that by 2040, no more Canadians will die in a heat dome. That is an admission of failure. By tomorrow, no Canadians should die in a heat dome if we pass on best practices for first responders and good advice for Canadians for how to survive. We have no firefighting force. We have not ordered any water bombers. Even though the De Havilland water bomber plane, which is best in class, is right now back-ordered for planes going to Europe, none have been ordered for Canada.
I am not partisan about this, but I am angry because we know better. We have some time, and we had better use it to talk to each other and to build our capacity.
