Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I hope he will answer my questions, for Minister of MACA. So can the Minister explain what money MACA provides for training first responders in small communities? Thank you.
Member from Monfwi. Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don't know the actual amount, and I can get that for the Member. But we do have a fund available for first responder training that is eligible for communities that apply for it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So how do communities go about applying for these fundings, especially those without first responders? I have three communities. There's Whati, Gameti, Wekweeti, and I heard of other small communities that don't have first responder. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would suggest that the community checks with their local fire department to see if it's required or if they want it, and then that their community government reaches out to the regional superintendent in order to get the process going to see if we can get the training or the funds to them. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you. Well, one of the question that was that what is the criteria for some of these -- you know, I'm sure there is a criteria for community governments to apply. But I would like to ask another question because maybe I will do a written questions to some of the stuff that -- I have lots here but I can't -- some of them will go on written, written questions. Yeah, so I can -- I only have four, and then I have second set of questions --
Thank you, Member from Monfwi.
Okay. So maybe he can answer this too as well. Paramedics, because they provide money. They provide money to train. So paramedics in the NWT. So are paramedics in the territory supplied with naloxone kit to administer on site during an emergency?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That there would be a lot of detail behind how a community operates their emergency services, if they had one. Depending on the type of service they would have in their community, you know, basically as even as a first-aider, even as a lay responder you would be eligible or trained -- eligible to be trained to use naloxone kits. So depending on the services, depending on accessibility, but just the old quick search of the interweb here I was able to find out that in the Tlicho region there are four spots where you could get naloxone kits through using our wonderful GNWT websites. Behchoko, you can go to the health centre. Gameti, the health centre. Wekweeti, you can go to the health cabin. And Whati, you can go to the health centre to access the naloxone kits for first responders. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. Final supplementary. Member from Monfwi.
I'm happy with the response because he's -- but I'm kind of worried about other communities that don't have, you know, paramedics or -- paramedics or first responders. So this is -- 9-1-1 is MACA responsibility so I'm going to ask this. So what is the average ambulance response time in Yellowknife currently? Thank you.
Member from Monfwi, that is not the line of questioning that you are going through was. So therefore it's out of order. I will go to the next person on that because it's a different question -- set of questions. It's not the same one. Do you have another question in regards to what you were starting your questioning with? Thank you.
Okay. Well, I thought 9-1-1 was part of MACA so I did -- I wanted to know what's the average.
Member from Monfwi, the ruling was that you ask questions on a topic. This is another topic. It's not the department. It is very much specifically to -- you could say MACA, it could be water if it was on this question. So therefore the question was about the ambulance response, that's where your questions need to be focused on. Thank you.
Mr. Speaker, I disagree with you on this.
Thank you, Member from Monfwi.
