Michael Cooper on Wildfires in Manitoba and Saskatchewan

Mr. Speaker, the simple answer is no. Resources are lacking. Equipment is lacking. What we have seen with the government is that there are a lot of empty words. The Liberal Party across the way committed to a half-billion-dollar investment to recruit and train new firefighters and to acquire much-needed equipment, including helicopters and fire bombers, but three and a half years later, the government has failed to deliver, as wildfires have been raging out of control not just this year but also in other recent years.
