Mr. Speaker, I believe Manitoba has a similar silver alert framework to Quebec. Unless there has been a new development that I am not aware of, Quebec's silver alert, like Manitoba's, will go on police websites and social media. It notifies through a paper or electronic route, but not on our phones like an Amber alert or a tornado warning. Unless there has been a change in Quebec, I believe that is the case. It does not currently alert to our phones that there is a missing senior.
There is a legislative framework that exists in Manitoba, but it has not been actioned to the level of cellular devices. It is just online. As I mentioned in my remarks, a silver alert technically went out for Mr. Moberg, but it was just the online alert. That is what Manitoba is calling its silver alert. What I am calling a silver alert in the bill is more about the cellular device capabilities that we see with Amber alerts, tornado warnings and things like that.
I think Manitoba and Quebec have similar things. The problem is that they are not alerting people who are not necessarily paying attention to those notification boards. That is the problem.
