If I could remind the Minister, it’s not for my comfort that I’m asking for this information. It’s for the taxpayers who are asking if we were good stewards of the availability of such funds. I just want to make sure that’s put on the record.
Not that I want to dial 911 on this issue, but the concern that was brought up by my colleague here Mr. Nadli in terms of our Ground Ambulance Program is something of a concern. We don’t need to have a disaster on our highways to do so. It just so happens that we had a disaster as of late with respect to areas where a ground ambulance or an air ambulance extraction could have been used in probably more effective ways. We’ve heard today that there were issues of liability, lacking equipment, lacking personnel.
About this working group, my questions are the fundamentals behind this working group. I was led to believe that the department had a very similar working group for a number of years that disbanded, but they did not have any type of conclusion. Now we’ve got a new working group that’s been put together that is working on, I guess, the expertise of our future Ground Ambulance Program. Can the Minister indicate who the members are of this working group and what background they are bringing to the working group? If I could get a response to that, please.
