Mr. Speaker, over the last decade, we have never seen raging wildfires like we are seeing right now. Unlike the Liberals, who want to blame provinces and territories for maybe not having the equipment to tackle these incredible fires that are taking place, I think about my home province, which is loaning resources and supporting three neighbouring provinces with helicopters, water bombers and equipment. At the same time, B.C. has operators like Coulson Group, on Vancouver Island, that are supporting countries around the world, yet Canada still does not have water bombers or night firefighting equipment to take on surges happening throughout Canada.
Does my colleague agree that it is time for the federal government to step up, fill the void and show some leadership?
