Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for taking the time to be here with us today.
We were chatting briefly about the fact that fall is in the air, and we're probably not going to avoid that as it transitions to winter. I want to thank you for coming and sharing your knowledge with us.
I have a couple of questions for Chief Thomas and Chief Diabo. The comments you made were quite amazing in the context of your managing multi-jurisdictional challenges. As a former mayor who dealt with different levels of government, I appreciated your perspective—a very positive perspective—and I'm sure it has its challenges.
Emergency management is a shared responsibility, obviously, and you're sharing it way more than most people have to. We heard testimony in the last hour from the people who issue the alerts—the alerting system—and they talked about wanting to engage individual nations on maybe being part of that at their own level.
I'm trying to flesh this out in the context of your having to deal with what I used to have to deal with as a mayor: multiple jurisdictions. Would it be beneficial for you to issue your own emergency alerts just for your nation and your communities, or do you do this already?
