No, there is not, Mr. Chair. This is just money that we get from the federal government and this is the only place it would show up in. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I will refer that to Ms. Young. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we did have a joint committee including all the departments that the Member referenced, and I think it was determined that it wasn’t legislated in any one of the departments, so that was part of the work that we did on the report and now we are hoping to try and address these issues. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

No. No, thank you, Mr. Chair, just that we’ll keep committee updated as to the work we’re doing as we go forward. Thank you.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, there was no discussion on the indexing of the Northern Residents Deduction, but it is an issue that I should raise with my northern counterparts to see how we can address it. But it wasn’t raised at this particular meeting. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Let us finish the research, and then we will make a determination from there. I don’t think we are that far from finishing. Let us do that. Then we will make a determination at that time if it is just a quick fix to make an amendment. Thank you, Mr...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the department, as I said before, has done some communitybased first responder training. We want to improve the capacity of our staff and volunteers; and then also a webbased tool kit to help communities recruit and train volunteer first responders. Then we have the, we had the, work that was just done, and they identified some challenges that we’re facing. I mean, I can assure the Member and all Members, actually, that we recognize that this is a service that’s required by some communities, but then we also respect the communities’ desire to have more training...
