Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm pleased to join the committee.
My questions, if you will indulge me, are obviously current, live and local, as I'm sure our colleague Mr. Fisher would probably want to deal with, around hurricane Fiona.
Can you let the committee know exactly what the preparations were by the federal government in the lead-up to hurricane Fiona to prepare for the emergency response, since we knew probably for about two weeks the likelihood that this particular hurricane would make landfall in Nova Scotia and go through Atlantic Canada?
