Madam Speaker, the second petition I would like to present today is on behalf of residents in my riding who are concerned that existing flood protection infrastructure, including dikes, levies and drainage systems, is aging and inadequate to withstand current and future flood risks. Effective flood mitigation requires substantial investment in modern, climate-resilient infrastructure. The flooding events of 2021, four years ago, caused widespread damage to homes, businesses and agricultural lands such as Canada has never seen in its history.
These residents call upon the Government of Canada to invest in the necessary infrastructure to protect Abbotsford, the Fraser Valley and the entire supply chain of Canada.
