Dane Lloyd on Wildfires in Manitoba and Saskatchewan

Mr. Speaker, I think we have to hold the government up to its own standards, and those are the promises that were made in the 2021 federal election. The prime minister at the time went to British Columbia as they were undergoing a massive fire season and said, “We are going to spend $500 million by the next firefighting season. We are going to buy water bombers and helicopters, and we are going to train 1,000 new firefighters.” The Liberals did not do that by the next firefighting season. It has been four years since then, and they have not done it. Let us not hold them to the standard of what they have done; let us hold them to the standard of what they promised to do but did not do. They failed.
