Yes, we're very happy that this is coming to light, and we hope something is going to be done for our first nations communities, because we really need something federally put in place. As was mentioned, Ontario and Alberta have presumptive legislation. But that is provincial legislation. It's like the Emergencies Act, but within the provinces. Those are provincial acts that don't necessarily have anything to do with first nations, because first nations are not provincial. We do need something federally so that it falls under the blanket of the federal government to look after PTSD and emotional problems within our first responders. We know we have a problem there. We just don't know how bad the problem is in regard to first responders in first nations, because we just don't have the amount of material and the studies done to give us that information. That's something we really need to look at.
