Mr. Speaker, my heart goes out to everyone who has suffered so tremendously through this flooding experience, including indigenous people who are disproportionately impacted not just by this climate-related event, but by many others. My team has been working very closely to coordinate services with the Province of B.C. and has announced funding of $4.4 million through the emergency management assistance program to the First Nations' Emergency Services Society of British Columbia. This is built on the principle that indigenous people know how to support their communities, and we will continue to work through that indigenous-led lens.
