Mr. Chairman, I'm convinced we have sufficient capacity in that respect. However, with regard to the way we respond to emergencies, responsibility does not fall to Public Safety Canada alone; that's a role that the provinces, territories and even the municipalities and small towns across the country must bear. It's also up to them to ensure that we are able to respond adequately from a linguistic standpoint. To my knowledge, having spent 14 months at Public Safety Canada, I can say that there are no problems in that regard.
