Madam Speaker, Edmonton is entirely orange now. All MLAs across Edmonton are now New Democrat, and most MLAs in Calgary are actually New Democrats as well. I think that the member neglected to say that the Conservatives have lost the cities, of course, in Alberta. More importantly, what this member is doing with his dilatory motion is blocking the request for an emergency debate tonight on wildfires that have swept through Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia. This shows profound disrespect by Conservatives to those volunteer firefighters who are persevering and fighting the fires, as well as people in northern Alberta who are fighting the wildfires. Conservatives are saying they do not give a damn—

Madam Speaker, I know my hon. colleague does a lot of good work on the indigenous and northern affairs committee, which is something that connects both of us, him as a representative for Saskatchewan and me as a representative for Alberta who formerly represented many indigenous people. This budget speaks directly to some of the aspects that are needed for our first nations communities to continue to get out of the crises they are in.. For example, the red dress alert is something that is most critical to constituents in my community, who are faced with some of the most tragic results of the inquiry into the missing and murdered indigenous women and girls and two-spirit people. Why would the member oppose such an important endeavour, which is called for by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and what does he have to say to the thousands of women who need the support?
