Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I see that and you have it listed down here as tax-based communities. In non-taxed-based communities, what is the breakdown? What would the formula be?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under emergency services, just talking with my colleague there from Fort Providence, my great neighbour, we were talking about emergency extractions on highway transportation accidents. There is no avenue for anybody to do a rescue on the highways because Rae is not outfitted for rescues on the highways, nor is Fort Providence. I am wondering, is there anywhere in here that they are looking at outfitting some of these smaller communities on the highway system?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we are working on a program whereby we may be eligible for funding for communities from emergency measures federal. What we are working towards is certain communities along the highways would in fact be equipped with emergency measures vehicles, like ambulances, that would go out onto the highways for rescue purposes. Not every community would receive the funding, but those communities that are in a position to actually respond to emergency measures within a given length of highways until eventually we have all the highways covered.

Mr. Chairman, we are responding from communities being requested to respond to the emergencies on highways. I believe the Member for Hay River has voiced this more than once, where ambulances from Hay River have had to respond to emergencies on the highways, and the same situation here in Yellowknife. So that is why we are doing this, to allow for communities to have the proper equipment to respond to emergencies on the highways.
There is no other program at this point, and because the federal government does have a funding program for emergency measures, we are able to obtain some federal funding in this manner towards this.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Yes, it is one thing to have the proper vehicles for extractions at accident scenes and ambulances, but then, before we can do anything with that equipment, we need to have training. That is specialized training for highway accidents and all that. When they do plan to put equipment in communities, I am hoping they would put training in place before then. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, training is part of the program and it will be done through training of firefighters.
