Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. So while we were reviewing the bill, we had an opportunity to go to Fort Simpson. I want to thank the Environment and Climate Change staff that we met in Fort Simpson. We went to their office and we sat in a boardroom, and there was this great huge screen where they were able to flash up all kinds of information about fires. I'd never seen this stuff before. It was amazing. They had, like, real live time data and information there. They could tell you where planes were located, where they were going to be fire bombing and all kinds of stuff. It was amazing the amount of information that these guys were able to show us. But it's not publicly accessible. Nobody knows about it. It's used internally, which is great, and I think it's a very helpful set of tools. But, and I guess I understand maybe the need to keep some of that confidential in terms of values at risk and maybe some of the, you know, the immediate work that they're doing in the air and on the ground. But to not have any public access to that data is not very helpful. You know, the staff are doing a great job, but they've got to find ways to share more of that information. And I think that's what this -- that's what this recommendation is really aimed at, is making more of that kind of information available to the public.
I also want to say, too, that just before the evacuation I was totally exhausted because I was trying to do FireSmarting around our own house. When I went on their website, there was a lot of good stuff there about FireSmarting, a lot of good stuff, but you got to kind of dig to find it. Some of it's not their documents. They're found on third party sites and things. There's a lot of really good stuff there about FireSmarting. We tried to do as much as we could before we left. But it's not organized in a way that's very user friendly. So my -- I think part of -- I'd like to add in here that that's another reason why this information could be better organized and communicated. It's just not there in a user friendly way. Anyways, you know, the staff do great work. They have some really great tools. We just got to find ways to share that and make it more understandable for everybody so that they can access this stuff. And that's what this recommendation is really aimed at. Thanks, Madam Chair.
