Unanimous Consent Request--S. Res. 811 (Executive Calendar)
Senator Hoeven asked the Senate to pass by unanimous consent a resolution calling for greater action from the Canadian government to combat wildfires whose smoke crosses into the United States, saying the smoke affects millions of Americans and that the two countries should work together. Senator Murray objected, saying the resolution unfairly blames Canada, a partner in fighting fires, and that Congress should instead focus on U.S. wildfire response, including funding the Forest Service and rehiring fired wildfire workers. Hoeven said the resolution is about cooperation and benefits both countries, and Senator Moreno supported it, saying it targets Canada’s leaders rather than its people and that Canada declines to admit American firefighters. Murray’s objection blocks the resolution for now.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
