Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am trying not to say the same thing for the fourth time. The answer is yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That is correct, subject to process, of course. There may be glitches, depending on presenting it to standing committee and getting the draft done up. If it all follows through, it should be in September or October. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, we will make that public, and I will go further and commit to actually sharing that with the five regional sports and recreation organizations as well. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. As Mr. Schauerte said, if they are individual cabins, belonging to an individual and used for their purposes, they are assessed; if they are a cabin that is used for the community as a whole, they are currently not assessed. My understanding is that, once the land claims are finished, those issues will be addressed, so I would encourage all of our MLAs around the table to push the governments to actually settle the land claims. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Not every year. In some years, since 2009, we have funded it just through this funding. Since 2009, we have used both this funding pot and also the lottery funding. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Considering that it is late, I am going to try and do my best, and Ms. Eleanor Young might expand on it. 911, we have worked with the stakeholders. We are now in the process. We have made an arrangement to work with the Med Alert team, so we can co-chair space with that. We are working with municipalities at this time to try to make sure that they have the infrastructure or the means to be able to identify people. Dial plans, I am going to let Ms. Eleanor Young speak on that one. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Department of Municipal and Community Affairs is all about providing support and services to the communities, so we are aware that there may be some difficulties with communities. One of them may be cost factors, so we are looking at that, and we are trying to make sure that we provide the proper support -- it is not an option -- so that communities can actually implement this in the most comprehensive way possible. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Department of Municipal and Community Affairs is committed to maintaining the multisport games. We will provide funding for the games either through internal funding and/or through lottery funding which was done throughout the years. It was never only funded through the internal funding or through this funding. I believe this was brought forward in 2009. Previous to that, it was funded through the lotteries, and many years we have had to dip into both. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to bring witnesses.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. We have asked the consultant to actually look at all options. Air rescue might be an option if it's quite a ways away, but, if it's only a kilometer or two from a centre then, of course, that wouldn't make sense; it wouldn't be as cost-effective. So we've asked for all options, and we are looking forward to that report when it's finished. I would like to say that I'm just thinking that you can't determine where an accident is going to happen, so I think it would be having to look at all of the different methods instead of just one versus the other. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
