Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Davenport, who is one of my favourite colleagues. It is great to be in the House tonight with such a thoughtful and empathetic member of Parliament, as she always shows herself to be. She gave a very thoughtful speech that I know she worked very hard on.
It is unfortunate that someone is not present, the leader of the official opposition. He was the member for Carleton, but unfortunately he is not currently in the House to participate in this debate. I wonder whether it is because he and his party voted over 400 times against the climate policies of this government. They sought to address the core underlying causes contributing to wildfires and other extreme weather events, which we know are increasing in frequency.
I know the member in her speech focused on the need for coordination and co-operation among a whole bunch of different stakeholders, including first responders. I wonder if she could tell us how Canadians can contribute to this response.
