Madam Speaker, I too want to convey my thanks to members of the Canadian Armed Forces, who are deployed as part of Operation Lentus. I thank the firefighters as well, who are spanning out across the country to fight these wildfires. One thing we heard during debate on my bill, Bill C-224, was the impact on firefighters after a wildfire. We heard about the fires in Fort Mac and the impact on firefighters, who are now seeing a high incidence of cancer from a lifetime of exposure in such a short amount of time. People in Ottawa right now having trouble with respiratory problems because of the smog, which is basically across the country. These wildfires are putting people not just at immediate risk, but also at long-term risk. Therefore, could the member opposite elaborate a bit on the indirect effects we are starting to see?

Madam Speaker, I would like to thank the member opposite for sharing, with the House, the realities on the ground. I know his riding was hit hard during hurricane Fiona also, so it has not been a very easy time for the residents of his riding. At the end of his speech, he alluded to a warning for community members to not return to their homes until it was safe to do so. I would like to offer the opportunity for the member to talk about any other advice he would like to give Canadians who may be watching, in terms of safety advice, whether it be with respect to camping season or avoiding having open fires. Is there any advice he would like to give others, as we are seeing wildfires across Canada, to prevent a situation similar to what his riding is facing?
