I have a matter of correction for the record, Mr. Chair.
With respect to the provision of advance warning, the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs were questioned earlier this week on that particular issue. They said that such information is and I quote, “futile and unrealistic”.
Further, they went on to suggest, unlike what has been misrepresented across the way, that it was unnecessary for proper planning for first responders and that the protective direction No. 32 in fact was adequate along the lines that Mr. Marit has suggested.
I encourage members to check the blues on what CAFC actually said.
Mr. Chair, I'll defer back to the member.
