Dane Lloyd on Wildfires in Manitoba and Saskatchewan

Mr. Speaker, that is one concern here. We need to make sure that all levels of government are working together to increase capacity. We cannot have one level of government step up and then have another level of government say, “Hey, this is our opportunity to pull back spending.” We need to have a coordinated effort to ensure that we are increasing our capacity to respond to all emergencies and natural disasters. That does not mean just taking money from one level of government and using it to supplement spending cuts from another level of government; it means we need to have a coordinated strategy that involves increasing the overall capacity across the country.
