We have funding within our budget to help train these folks and we also help them write up their emergency plans. But again, the communities have done a great job taking the initiative to come forth with their emergency plans and we support them any way we can. We provide any type of expertise that we’re able to provide, so I think it’s a good partnership and one that’s just going to continue to grow.

Thank you. As far as the last time a lot of these have been reviewed, I mean, we’d have to go back and gather that information. Once we get the information for all these particular issues, we’ll share with the Members of the committee. On this particular one, there was a slight increase in the number of licences that were issued. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. All of the information that the Member is asking for is on the website. Thank you.

If Members are concerned about the details of our strategic plan, I mean, we’d be more than happy to offer a briefing up to the members of SCEDI on the strategic plan for MACA.

They go in and they work with the local emergency personnel, and the local emergency personnel would share that information with the folks in their communities such as their town council, but the community is quite informed as to the work that the emergency folks are doing. It’s a great partnership and we’ll continue to grow that partnership.

Thank you. There’s a slight reduction in the amount of operating sales staff in this industry and that has led to the decreased revenue.

Thank you. Reporting on an annual basis means they have to report to us once a year and there’s a number of requirements. We have audits and we work very closely with them and advancing some of the issues of the people from the Northwest Territories. So we do have some requirements. If the Member wants a hard copy of some of the requirements we have with these funding partners, then I’d be pleased to provide it to him.

Last spring.

I believe the actual positions are in the budget document a few more pages over. I’m not sure if the Member wants to wait until we get to 6-19 before I answer that question or should I just answer it now and say we’ve got six.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’ll have Mr. Schauerte respond to that.
