To the motion as amended, yes, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think we will have to wait for the afteraction review to come forward, and then we'll have more comprehensive recommendations on how we can improve the operation of the emergency management system, inquiry or not, I think everyone supports that exercise, and it's something that we're looking forward to seeing come forward.
Yesterday I raised the issue of requiring, through regulation, that emergency management organizations follow a common system of command and control. These are the kind of things that the department could offer support -- planning support, as this motion contemplates. So I think the idea of it is good. I think this is the role of a public safety department of which MACA is responsible, but it's the role to provide that kind of support. And I think the messaging that's out there now, unintentionally, is that not that you're on your own but it's your responsibility, and you have to go seek the resources to get it done right. And I think this is just a bit more directly explicit in showing that the department has an obligation to ensure the correct functioning of the emergency management system. They have a statutory obligation, of course, but more than just to say, yeah, yeah, you've got a report -- or you've got a plan and it's good; rather, to take a look at it and say well, does the plan work, does the plan meet the needs of this community for improving public safety. I presume that the Minister will abstain but I would like to hear his comments on this as well. Because it's important that we are moving forward and we are moving forward without delay. So I look forward to see how we respond to this both through the afteraction report and through incorporating the suggestions, such as this motion, to improve the emergency management system in the Northwest Territories. I will be supporting it. Thank you.
