Years after it was pitched, Canada is still waiting for a national disaster agency
74% Informative
In 2023 , the federal government was looking at creating a national disaster response agency.
Two years later , the country is again facing another summer of wildfires.
Public Safety Canada indicated in a media statement the government is still working on it.
There is still no sign of such an agency, though governments are tapping the private sector to help.
Currently, the federal government only becomes involved in emergency response if a province asks it to step in.
The military’s main role in a disaster is to help local officials with logistics, planning and manpower.
Former chief of the defence staff Gen. Wayne Eyre previously called on governments to lean less on the Armed Forces for disaster response.
