I have never read such a big number. Agreed?
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Then the Minister could confirm, through you, Mr. Chairman, that the other literacy funding has not been reduced for this upcoming fiscal year. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. Braden. Okay, thank you. Next I have Mr. Zoe.
Then I will ask the Sergeant-at-Arms if he would please escort Mr. Dent’s witnesses into the witness table.
Could you please introduce your witnesses, for the record? Mr. Dent.
Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. Ramsay.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, would a risk assessment or an emergency measures plan include not only the transportation of hazardous materials but, as referred to by Mr. Ramsay earlier, for instance, like in the recent incident where we had the airport and the only road out of the city closed for quite a period of time? I believe eight to 10 hours with absolutely no possibility to either get out by road or by air. Would something like that be covered in a city’s emergency plan and would it not make sense to have alternate routes? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Murray. Mr. Ramsay.
