Deputy ministers are responsible for their own business continuity plans. Public Safety Canada and the Minister of Public Safety have the responsibility for providing guidance and helping departments prepare their own business plans. Each minister has the responsibility of identifying the risk to their operations, developing plans to meet those risks, and exercising those plans. We have the responsibility of assessing them. This is done in the context of what we call the federal emergency response plan.
