“Towns and cities need money and infrastructure to deal with flooding, but they need good data first. What did local leaders say to you about this, and is there anyone else you want to thank?”
“Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her excellent speech. As a former municipal councillor, I understand how important it is that municipal infrastructure be supported to deal with the risks we are facing of increased flooding, and how important it is for municipalities to have financial support, but it all starts with data. I am wondering if my colleague could speak about the feedback or consultations from municipalities she spoke with. In addition, the member has already mentioned all the folks who helped her in this journey. I am wondering if there is anyone else she would care to thank as part of her remarks.”
