I believe it was directed to me. Thank you very much for that question.
I hope I wasn't too ambitious in my desire to listen to the question in French and understand it. I think you're asking me what I would do if we had to really make sure that the Canadian Armed Forces was the very last resort. I think that is important. That is how I see it in the Yukon.
I think it's necessary to make these investments in our territory and our province, have our own resources, well constructed and well resourced, and have our NGOs well integrated into our emergency response structure. I think it's very important from an economic sense as well that we consider our private sector in terms of how they can respond. There's significant money that can get spent, and there's significant expertise that we would like to rely upon and build. As I think has been mentioned too, there's significant energy and there are volunteers who really want to participate in this.
These are all resources we have to make sure are very well organized and available. I think that's how we make sure that the armed forces are always the last resort. I think what we need to do is make sure that if we are at the point of calling on the forces, they're there for us, they're trained in the way we need them to, to come and integrate into our system, and they are plugging those holes that we can't. As I said, I think that by the time we are calling on the forces, we need that comprehensive...like, please come take this whole problem away from us from a logistics, operations and management sense.
I hope that answers your question.
