As I said, the security costs have increased by 60% over the past five years across the FAME membership. I talked with Jim a bit earlier, and he told me that the cost of security at the Edmonton Heritage Festival went from $4,000 to $240,000. It was multiplied by 60, which is just amazing when you think about it.
Another example I can give you is that last summer in Quebec City, for the Festival d'été de Québec, they had to have drone detectors, because now people are flying drones over the crowds. You can think of anything. Of course there are trucks. There's all that. We need to face modern threats with modern technologies, and that's what we are looking for, actually. We need to buy metal detectors. We need to have drone detectors. We need to have everything possible.
Of course, we also need to hire more security agents, and that's also costly. There's no way you can sponsor security. I mean, you don't want metal detectors to have the TD Bank logo on them. It doesn't make sense. It's really a matter of having more revenue. Of course, if you get a bit more revenue you can't just use it all for security. Other expenses increase as well.
As I said, there's a program right now at Public Safety. The security infrastructure program for communities at risk really helps communities at risk, like schools, churches and others, to buy the sort of stuff I just talked about—metal detectors, cameras and all that. We're basically looking to have access to this existing program and to have more funds within the program.
