For sure.
I should actually mention—and again, I mentioned it in my presentation—that the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs made a very good submission in 2007, I believe, and Brian can correct me on that, I'm sure. They spoke specifically to that.
In fact, volunteer fire departments already have very, very extensive record keeping because of legal liability issues, and human resource issues as well, because of workers' compensation claims, for instance. Unfortunately, firefighters get hurt fairly frequently, and even if they are volunteers, they are covered by the WCB or WSIB, whatever province they are in.
In terms of streamlining it, this is really an implementation issue rather than a policy or legislative issue, but I think the key would be to ensure that the record keeping is able to draw on existing data already collected for things like workers' compensation, and the data required by legal reporting requirements.
My understanding from consultations with the CAFC is that the data are already there. We just need to make sure the record keeping or the reporting is done in a way that we're drawing on existing data. It really does sound like the data are already there.
