Arnold Viersen on Wildfires in Manitoba and Saskatchewan

Mr. Speaker, this is exactly the type of thing I was talking about. We need to understand that the forest is an organic organism that moves, and it has been managed for over 100 years in Canada, 200 years in some places. We need to ensure that the fuel load is managed, because the fuel load is the thing that causes the fires. When the fuel load is low, we can manage the fires. When the fuel load is high, we get a never-ending cycle of wildfires.
