Thank you, Mr. Chair. This is funding that is meant to support and enhance emergency services and firefighter education across all communities. So there's two different things happening here, Mr. Chair. Regional centres will see the training done brought to the national fire protection association standard. That's for regional fire departments. As well, Mr. Chair, then there will be, for smaller communities, the assistant fire marshals and contract trainers will be providing first aid and emergency response training to those small communities so that they can support their own initiatives. And last but not least, Mr. Chair, the annual fire chiefs conference has a slice of funding here as well to ensure that all fire chiefs across the Northwest Territories are able to connect and -- in the course of a year. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
