My question is for the President of the Treasury Board. In the past year, we’ve seen emergencies like wildfires, floods and storms in all parts of Ontario. The people in my riding of Burlington and across the province are looking to our province in times of need. It’s our responsibility to keep all Ontarians safe in the event of emergencies. We must continue to do all that we can to ensure our province is prepared as much as possible for any urgent situation that may arise.

Speaker, can the President of the Treasury Board please share what our government is doing to strengthen emergency management and ensure that Ontario is prepared for the future?

Thank you to the minister for her response. It’s encouraging to see our government demonstrate leadership in protecting the well-being of our families and our loved ones. The people of this province, including my constituents in Burlington, will be pleased to know that our government is taking every necessary step to keep them safe.

The President of the Treasury Board spoke about the $110-million emergency management support we outlined in our last budget. Speaker, can the minister please explain how our government is spearheading a comprehensive emergency management plan and safeguarding our province through this investment?
