Thank you, Mr. Ramsay. Mr. Miltenberger.
Okay, I’m going to call Committee of the Whole back to order. Yesterday when we left off we were dealing with the detail of the Department of Health and Social Services main estimates and I would like to ask the committee if we are to continue with that, would they agree to the Minister bringing in witnesses.
Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. We are on Mr. Ramsay.
Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Ms. Lee.
Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Miltenberger.
Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Is committee agreed?
Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Mr. Ramsay.
Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. I have Ms. Lee.
Thank you, Ms. Lee. Mr. Miltenberger.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, would a risk assessment or an emergency measures plan include not only the transportation of hazardous materials but, as referred to by Mr. Ramsay earlier, for instance, like in the recent incident where we had the airport and the only road out of the city closed for quite a period of time? I believe eight to 10 hours with absolutely no possibility to either get out by road or by air. Would something like that be covered in a city’s emergency plan and would it not make sense to have alternate routes? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
