Thank you, Mr. Chairman. A few questions there. There was no one specific incident that lead to us deciding that it made sense to come forward and provide this tool for our parks officers, but with increased activity levels around our major centres, there has been an escalation of unruly behaviour at some of our parks that has been troubling. There is a trend here over the past couple of years, as I mentioned in my response from Mr. Ramsay. There have been a number of things that we have been doing to try to alleviate this. This is simply one more tool that we are providing our parks officers. Could this have happened earlier and come forward sooner? It probably could have. I do appreciate Members willing to be cooperative and expedite this so we had it in time for this season, which I think was important.

The question about new training, really there will be some new training required but only in the area of how to appropriately issue tickets under the Summary Convictions Procedures Act. So the rest of the training that our parks officers undergo still holds. Having said that, I think we always continue to evaluate the training that we have our officers go through and continue to upgrade that and make sure it is still relevant and make sure it takes into account the kinds of situations parks officers are seeing in our territorial parks.

Maximum fines under the Summary Convictions Procedures Act is $200 and that could be exceeded in court, but $200 is the amount. I think that gets to most of the questions the Member has asked.
