L’organisme précise que les réclamations liées aux tempêtes de la fin mai et du début juin — principalement pour des habitations — s’élèvent à près de 230 millions de dollars canadiens et que les données sur la tempête de la mi-juillet sont toujours en cours de collecte, de sorte que le total augmentera.
