Changes to how Canada combats and manages severe weather events, like wildfires and floods, is part of each parties’ platform. Here’s what they plan to do:
The Liberal Party plans to invest in wildfire response teams and fund home upgrades, including roof repairs and sump pumps for Canadian families.
The Conservative Party hasn’t outlined specific plans for dealing with severe weather. However, they have discussed lowering costs for Canadians by eliminating the carbon tax.
The NDP plans to launch a national retrofit program that will provide upgrades to low-income homes at zero cost.
