Every time I either come to the finance committee or meet with the ministers, I think it seems very positive. I come out of the meeting thinking, “This thing is moving forward; I can just feel it.” Then it seems to get caught up somewhere in the bureaucracy and it just doesn't happen. As early as three months ago I had a meeting with the Emergency Preparedness College, and I figured, “Well, that was positive.” But here it's three months later, and I hear nothing. The clock is ticking on this one, and it's going to be a sad state of affairs when we have an incident and our firefighters, our first responders, aren't trained. And we agree that with $500,000--let's not reinvent the wheel here, let's move this process forward--we can start training.
And it wasn't just us saying nothing's happening here. The auditor said it too, and she made it very clear in her report that nothing is happening in this area. So it's not good.
