Madam Speaker, I know the member is very sincere. All of our hearts are with the evacuees, but some of the words from the Liberal government ring hollow when it comes to talking about lessons learned from these wildfires. An iPolitics article from the 2021 election, stated:
Trudeau said a re-elected Liberal government would spend $500 million to train and equip 1,000 new firefighters across the country, who would be ready to spring into action before the next wildfire season. The money would also buy equipment such as water bombers and helicopters.
We know that did not happen by the next wildfire season, and it has now been four years since then. Can the member, who is part of the Liberal government, tell us how many helicopters and water bombers the government has bought since that promise was made in 2021?
