Mr. Chairman, I believe each community has a different plan in place, but basically, it identifies an area and how they would respond to any kind of emergency within the given area of the community. Normally, this involves other people, other organizations like the RCMP or the rangers, so that eventually, there is a plan there as to who would respond to that type of an emergency.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am glad there is a generic plan, but specifically for the East Arm and the south part of the lake with Fort Resolution being ideally located, is there any working relationship between the department and those communities, whether it is the Community Rangers Program or the RCMP at those communities? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Specifically where it relates to Great Slave Lake, the federal government, through the Coast Guard, has a major responsibility, along with the RCMP, in terms of organizing searches. Our plans with the communities, what would happen is if a call came in and a search is required, then the federal government -- I am not sure if it is RCMP or the Coast Guard, off the top of my head -- tells the local search and rescue boat people to go out and start the search and where to search, so it is controlled in that manner.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to ask a couple of quick questions in this area of emergency services regarding search and rescue. I would like to ask the Minister if he could tell me how much money was spent for training in my riding in the area of search and rescue?

Is the Minister committing to providing that or just not going to give it to us?

Training funds are located in the School of Community Government. Most of the training, especially for the Firefighter Training Program, was moved down to the School of Community Government. The second part of the question was...?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question was how much of the $267,000 is for equipment or for training. She already answered the training part, so the $267,000 must be for equipment.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The $267,000 is for other O and M. It is for travel, supplies, for some fees, purchase of computers, that kind of thing. It is not for purchase of assets for community governments.
