Question 1631-19(2): Wildfire crew Staffing and Deployment
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 168)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, we did talk to them. I've actually had, like I said, conversations with five of the or sorry, seven of the ten retirees. And the first thing, without even me prompting, you know, I just asked them why, and they said because we knew the season was going to be bad. We had an individual in Fort Smith who was retired and saw the situation and he already, before the evacuation, was getting ready to leave. When the officers the regional office superintendent reached out to him and asked he said, yeah, let's get to her. And he said look, it was a severe drought, the...

Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 167)

Yeah, thank you. And I'd just like to add to that there. It also gives AOC some tools. Right now, Cabinet, the tools, the Premier has. The Premier can make those decisions. But AOC would have to bring it to this House to do something. So this gives the tools to AOC to deal with their situation. It doesn't have to come to the House. So that's why I am supportive of this. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Current remediation activities, as defined by the closure and completion plan and the water license, are based on the 2003 guidelines, which were adopted by the land and water board at the time.

Mr. Thompson’s Reply
Debates of , 19th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 167)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I must apologize. This reply to the Commissioner's address is going to be a bit all over the place, and I ask my colleagues for their patience.
