Madam Speaker, I don't know if it is the department's responsibility to make sure that the equipment is inspected every year. I believe that is the Department of Safety and Public Services. From what I understand, it is the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs' responsibility to maintain. But, for the inspections...(Microphone turned off)...how well the equipment is operating is the Department of Safety and Public Services. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

I would like to ask the Minister then, if there are problems identified in fire alarm systems in communities, would it be his department's responsibility to rectify those problems? Thank you.
