Mr. Speaker, in fact, actually, we are taking immediate action, taking lessons learned not only from last year but also from previous years. First and foremost, we need to make sure that all the resources that have been put in place go directly to fighting wildfires, that is, to the local levels. We have already trained approximately 500 firefighters, putting in place more personnel to support the recovery. Yes, we are reviewing the overall national system as well. For any support that we provide, we are going to make sure that it actually has the maximum impact.
