Public Safety committee Well, again, unfortunately for us the skills that are learned on the farm, notwithstanding the transposable skills, are ones that don't lead to a better likelihood of gaining employment in the vocational area.

Public Safety committee Not at all. In fact I'd like to say, actually, that there is absolutely no planning, no future determination of the land use.
March 25th, 2010Committee meeting
Ross Toller
Public Safety committee No, not at all. That was an illustrative example that I think you're referring to from this particular document, “A Roadmap to Strengthening Public Safety”. It's actually contained in a number of the annexes in which they looked at reinvestment feasibilities, but again, no decisions have been made whatsoever.

Public Safety committee The strategic review process is part of normal government operations. In four-year cycles, every department, over various times, is called upon to look at its efficiencies in terms of all its programs.
March 25th, 2010Committee meeting
Ross Toller
Public Safety committee Strategic review processes are normal government cycles we go through every four years.
March 25th, 2010Committee meeting
Ross Toller
Public Safety committee It's a normal part of our cycle every four years, yes.
March 25th, 2010Committee meeting
