The opposition’s shadow for Forestry is criticizing the government saying it’s been seven years and now the province is facing another fire season without adequate resources. Exploits MHA Pleaman Forsey says officials in the Department of Fish, Forestry, and Agriculture confirmed last week that the water bomber will not return to service until 2026. Forsey noted that government did not decide to repair the water bomber until 2023, adding they wasted time flip-flopping between thinking about fixing it, selling it, and then fixing it again. Furthermore, he wants to know why it takes seven years for government to realize the importance of repairing the water bomber and returning it to service.
