Mr. Speaker, let me reiterate that our colleagues on all sides of the House were saddened by the tragic fire that occurred last January at the nursing home in L'Isle—Verte.
By working together, we can significantly reduce the likelihood that this type of occurrence will happen again.
As members know, it is the responsibility of the provinces and territories to regulate construction and fire safety standards under their respective codes.
As for the model codes, the Canadian Commission on Building and Fire Codes and its volunteers are currently working on the next series of model codes, which will be published in late 2015.
