Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for bringing forward this emergency debate. In my riding, there is some good news. It appears people have been able to get back home after an out-of-control wildfire was, fortunately, stopped just south of the hamlet.
The member talked about the federal government's need to get involved earlier in the case of Manitoba. She is surely aware that under our legislation, it is the province that has to make a request for assistance to the federal government. Does the member have a suggestion perhaps on a way we could change the legislation so that the federal government could act more quickly in these cases? What does the member suggest we do to address the concern she has?
