The reason I ask is because it is my understanding that the RCMP only have about a $500 -- I believe it is $500 -- gas budget and that is all that is available. I am not sure. I live in the smaller communities. I do not see any organized setup, any plans available to the community. I realize there is money available for assistance through the department, but that has to be applied for. It seems like the searches, whenever someone drowns or someone is lost, will get going. As soon as the RCMP budget is gone, the search has to stop until we can find some more money to continue the search. Can the Minister tell me what is available in terms of dollars for the communities to assist the communities in search and rescue?
