Mr. Speaker, I thank everyone on the ground who has been working to fight this terrible tragedy and make right what has been made wrong by nature. I appreciate the speed with which everybody has worked, including the ministers. I know how hard these situations are to manage, and I give my sincere thanks to all involved for keeping people safe.
The one thing I want to ask the member about is the long-term effect of this. Could he give his thoughts on that? I worked for the Government of Alberta, and we found that one of the challenges with an event like this is that it is often much longer lasting than people imagine. There is an event the world is watching, and the country is there in very big ways for people. Then they go home and their house is rebuilt if it has been lost, and life is supposed to go on. However, a year later is when some of the real mental health challenges can occur, and the country is not there.
I am wondering if you could react to that or give comments on what you think should happen long term for mental health supports for your community.
