Thank you, Mr. Chair. The two major pieces of legislation that are on our priority list right now include the Civil Emergency Measures Act and the Fire Prevention Act. The department has recently completed work on the legislative proposal and has advanced that through Cabinet to the Legislative Initiatives Committee. We are continuing our work on the Fire Prevention Act and we’re still in a research gathering phase at this time.

We certainly understand that there are a number of other pressure points for municipal legislation including some of the ones being raised by the Member. At this point the department is challenged with resources, including human, and time and financial to allocate to things like research. We don’t anticipate looking at Cities, Towns and Villages or other municipal pieces of legislation or PATA until the 18th Assembly at this time.
