Liberal on Emergency Management 2026-06-16

Replying to Carol Anstey (Conservative)

“Mr. Speaker, targets may not matter to that Liberal minister, but disabled Canadians rely on those supports and they certainly deserve better. Large areas of Gros Morne National Park are covered in dry timber and at risk of wildfire because of the spruce budworm outbreak. Why have the Liberals refused to join the provincial control program, putting Newfoundland and Labrador forests at risk of fire?”
