Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. You know we have great faith in our communities’ ability to identify some of the challenges they’re facing. I mean, I take the Member’s point, though. Our assistant fire marshals will go work in the community if the community asks them to come in and help them with some of the challenges they face, it may have already been done, but we may have to have a yearly kind of inspection tour. I just don’t want to think that we can just march into a community and tell them what’s good for them because we’ve turned a lot of that responsibility back to the communities. We will...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’ll refer that to Ms. Young.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, and that’s part of the work we did when we did the review. One of the challenges that we face in the communities is that they may want the equipment that they need, but there’s some training capacity. They need some training. There was also a liability issue. We’ve actually had a community sell an ambulance that they had bought, when they realized there was a huge liability without the proper training. We’ve tried to make training available through the School of Community Government. I think in conjunction with DOT, we’ve made some training available to help...

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, INAC provides a contribution of about $240,000. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

The Member made more of a comment. But we as well look forward to having that discussion. I can see where he is coming from. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The research may be finishing, but there is still a bit of work that needs to be done. As I said before, once we get that work completed, we will share it with Members, and then we will determine next steps from there with the input from the Members. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I agree with the Member. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we are just trying to gather that information. Thank you, Mr. Chair. As it says here, we have an annual budget of $350,000. This is unchanged obviously. We had 21 applications received for support. As to what we actually paid out, nine applications were approved for a total of $312,523. These are the ones that met the criteria, Mr. Chair. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we’re just trying to pull out that information, but I can assure the Member it wasn’t fully subscribed to. We will get the exact number, the exact amount, and we’ll share it with the Member. If I talk long enough, they might be able to pull it up in the briefing notes. I’ll just let you know that the NHL draft is tonight and we’re hoping that Toronto makes a good pick and can plan their Stanley Cup parade for next year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
