Thank you, Mr. Chairman.In terms of emergency management, I see a bump-up in the grants and contributions of a couple hundred thousand, and I know the Minister referenced another $350,000. What is the Minister aiming at here? One of the things that has come up in terms of community management planning is the increase and the expectation of further increases of the transportation of toxic and explosive materials through our communities associated with the fracking activity in the Sahtu as well as along our highways and rivers and lakes and so on. I know the Minister is familiar with what’s happening down South and with these sorts of accidents primarily with the rail, but where we don’t have rail in many areas, so we’ll be dealing with this stuff on our highways more and more. Will that be included or what are these dollars intended for?
