The department has moved forward in terms of improving the funding structure. There are now formalized agreements with British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Manitoba. We're in the process of negotiating agreements with other provinces.
Where those agreements aren't already in place, we work with emergency management organizations and other partners—in the case of Manitoba, for example, the Manitoba Association of Native FireFighters. We do have recourse to the management reserve within government for these. The amount of money in any given year certainly fluctuates, and this was a particularly difficult year in terms of emergency management, given the size of the floods and the nature of the fires.
We continue to put agreements in place so there are no delays and we can move very swiftly in supporting first nations and addressing emergencies.
