Mr. Speaker, the question about the emergency account was for the Minister of Finance. It would be nice to get some answers. At a minimum, could repayment of the emergency account be extended?

Over the past year, we have experienced the worst tropical storm on the east coast of Canada and the most severe flooding in the history of our country, and now we are dealing with the largest wildfires in Canadian history. What do the Conservatives say about climate change? They say that they do not believe in it or that we can make it all go away with a wave of some magic wand. That is not how it works.
