Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I have a couple of brief questions.

First, Mr. Ménard was talking about funding arrangements under the national program to assist in disasters. I don't know if the other program, JEPP, came up. The joint emergency preparedness program typically provides more modest sums to municipalities for fire trucks and emergency measures kind of equipment.

Did that program survive the recent spate of budget cuts?
