These new waterbombers would be phased in over the next 10 years, bringing the total number of provincial waterbombers to 15." — ontariopc.ca, retrieved 2025-02-19

"We will continue to stand behind our brave wildfire firefighters as they battle increasingly severe wildfires during longer fire seasons due to climate change. An Ontario NDP government will recognize these first responders to be firefighters, so that they may be fairly compensated for their service, and we will remove all barriers to any occupational diseases, such as cancers associated with firefighting, from being recognized by the workplace compensation system." — On Your Side: The Ontario NDP Plan for the North, retrieved 2025-02-20
