Madam Chair, there is training going on in Alberta. It’s called First Responders Medical Training. I saw it in one of the newspapers. They have it in Alberta. I guess we need to look and see how we can start identifying people in our region to do first responders medical training. We can work with the federal government on this initiative.
The other one is the community infrastructure. If they want to sign on to this, they are looking at a type of purchasing equipment. I’m not too sure how healthy the infrastructure budget is with the communities. They have roads, dumps, other things to look at, water treatment plants, and sewer. That money can only go so far. I think we need to sit down with the oil companies, with Transportation, with our government, with the federal government and say this is what we need to do and this is what it looks like. We need to come together on that type of initiative to purchase equipment, things that they would need. I would be very interested in working with the Minister and support him.
In this issue here, it is something that I would like to see by at least next opening winter road that we have a first responders medical response team concept in the Sahtu. We need that. There’s no question about it. We need that. So I would like to see something that our people will know who to call. If not 911, we need to call somebody if something is happening.
I want to thank the Minister and his team for doing a good job in Norman Wells on the issue there that happened. Thank you very much. People are very appreciative. It is a type of initiative that could happen and we are ready for it. That is what I want to see in the Sahtu winter roads. Mahsi cho.
