Two or three years ago we were approached by the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs. A program had been set up for mental health first aid. It was a train the trainer program. We were able to put some people through it on a trial basis. They were hoping to raise funding to wheel this out amongst the first responder community so that the fire chiefs could send people there to be trained in mental health first aid and then bring that back to their departments. We were very supportive of that, but unfortunately the commission couldn't find the necessary funding to get it up and running. The program exists.
