Director General, Coordination, Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada (PSEPC)

Thank you.

Our FPT for emergency management is actually very active in this country.

Ministers last met in January 2005 and elaborated an action plan that includes work in a variety of areas, including emergency response, disaster recovery assistance programs, a national mitigation strategy, training and exercising, public alerting, and finally, a critical infrastructure protection strategy.

Ministers plan to meet again sometime in December, or perhaps in January. To support them, deputy ministers have met face to face twice since then and have had a variety of teleconferences, and senior officials continue their work.

So through these deliberations, we continue to develop the relationship with the provinces and the territories, which directly benefits municipalities.
