Thank you, Chair, and thanks to the panel for being here.
We've talked a lot about different situations with respect to the act, but clause 6, if I can just refer you to it, certainly lays out responsibilities for ministers other than the Minister of Public Safety. I'm just wondering if you could lay out for the committee what responsibilities would involve other ministers. What would they have to do?
I think some of the questions that have come up today, responsibilities of those ministers, other ministers, the Minister of Public Safety, and what they have to do, are actually covered in clause 6. The other part, and I think you've made it clear, is that it is not the federal government that does the hands-on in a situation with an emergency; it is the umbrella that's there to help and guide.
As the last part, I think a few years ago we saw where the largest municipality in the country utilized the services of the military to remove snow. Is that really what we would expect in the future?
