The enforcement, we’ve added into our enforcement. I think we have an extra enforcement person. I will confirm that and provide that to the Member. But I know it was a concern that the Member had raised. I think it was during the business plan review. Then recognizing that we may be getting more responsibility here very shortly, so enforcement is going to be a critical issue. I can assure the Member that that is being worked on.

The familiarity with the area, our folks have done a lot of site visits. I think they’ve had one study done I know on a particular lake, and the turbidity of the lake...

Thank you. This is application-based funding, and it would support some training and some minor capital upgrade for ambulance and highway rescue services in communities. Some communities don’t have the equipment, but it would be able to support training in some small communities. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. What I can commit to the Members of this Assembly is that we’ll try and work a communications plan and let the public know that there is a consumer affairs division. We’ll actually let all Members of the Assembly know the consumer affairs division we have. We’ll give them a name and number that they can possibly pass on to any constituents that might be calling them. I think that will go a long ways into getting our consumer affairs department more in the forefront. I understand, with things going the way they are going now and many of the issues that are being raised...

We’ll be pleased to get an updated course list and provide it to Members.

Madam Chair, this is one of the things that the working group is looking at, is the equipment and types of equipment that are going to be needed. As far as trying to get it implemented by next fall, again, the Member made a good point about working with a lot of the industry people that are out there.

Part of the working group’s mandate would to explore all of the opportunities that are available, take advantage of training available. It’s a good time for us to take advantage of the industry being in the...

The Member is correct. There have been ongoing discussions with the community, because we had heard from them that they were looking at identifying their own water source, so we have had ongoing discussions with them. Where it’s at right now, I’m not quite sure. I will follow up with the officials and see where those discussions are and I will inform the Member.

We play a valuable role on the board. We’re not just a financial contributor. I can gather more information and do a little bit of research, and I’ll be happy to sit down with the Member and share my findings with him.

Mr. Chair, actually, I think the Member is free to ask questions on any page he chooses. If he chooses to ask them on this page, then I will do my best to try and answer it. Thank you.
