Madam Chairman, it is managed in co-operation with the provinces. We look to lever the money that is provided by the federal government with additional contributions coming either from the provincial or local level. It is provided through the office of critical infrastructure protection and emergency preparedness, OCIPEP.
OCIPEP took on all of the responsibilities that Emergency Preparedness Canada had and has added this component of critical infrastructure. It is also looking not only at natural disasters but at man-made terrorist type attacks, both in the physical form and in the cyber form as well. A key part of what it will do in future will be to work with the first responder community. This is an indication of where the priority is in terms of dealing with those kinds of disasters.
