Mr. Speaker, I guess blaming climate change is easier than admitting to incompetence. In 2017, the former MP for Yellowhead gave warnings. For years, the mayor and forestry experts warned that a devastating wildfire in Jasper was inevitable without action. The radical environment minister knew it was coming and still chose to do nothing. Now, a third of the town is gone, thousands are homeless and there is nearly a billion dollars in damage.
Will the minister personally apologize to the people of Jasper for his failure?
