Mr. Speaker, right now, the government is focused on the immediate response and doing everything it can do to keep people safe. When the worst has passed, the disaster financial assistance arrangements program helps provinces recover from the damage and facilitate longer-term recovery.
We know the wildfire season is getting longer, and that is why preparation has never been more important. The government works closely with provinces and indigenous partners to assess and prepare. When the requests for federal assistance come in, we move quickly, and we are prepared to do so. At the end of the day, it is people's lives, livelihoods and whole communities that are on the line, and that is the reason the government will be working on helping our communities.
