Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the funding was a reduction because the program wasn't fully subscribed to. We also recognize that this is an issue that we have to address. We will do our work and then if we can enhance this program we will come back to this Chamber to seek more funds once we're in a position to do so. We would like to assist the communities and I think the best way to assist the communities is to ensure that we have people in the communities that are able to be first responders, especially if they get on the scene right away. This is a program that we have been hearing about a lot and it's one that we recognize that we need to do more with. We're getting more people travelling on the roads and there was even some talk of winter roads, travelling on winter roads as such. MACA will ensure we do our part. I look forward to working with committee and getting feedback from committee as to how we can enhance and improve the program; enhance, improve and encourage people to take the training. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
