Mr. Chairman, we certainly can take a look at it. We don't pay for ambulances. We don't reimburse towns or cities for ambulances. I believe the Department of Health and Social Services has a program that they use. I'm not sure. Our only responsibility in this case for ambulance services is in our legislation and there is provision so the communities can set by-laws that will allow for ambulance services and state the rules around it. But we can check again. My staff has informed me that we do not pay for ambulances. We have helped communities apply for funding to purchase rescue vehicles and ambulances through the federal program, but that's the extent of our involvement.
