Public Safety committee Currently, in the province of British Columbia, there are devices installed in vehicles where the population is less than 5,000 and I believe in the supervisors' vehicles when the population is greater than 15,000. I have not heard any complaints or issues. We do not have a central reporting system, meaning that when somebody utilizes an AED they don't write down and send me a note to say, “I've utilized it.

Public Safety committee The more places they are.... If I look at the response and the location of the people where we are going to calls.... If they're not in the hospital when these incidents are happening, they're either in a public place or a private residence or perhaps in a remote location. For example, maybe somebody has a cardiac arrest while hunting.

Public Safety committee I think that we require further consultation with the provinces, the municipalities and the territories to examine the issue and determine exact costs. When we speak of priorities, where does that fit on the priority list? We'll move forward in that way.

Public Safety committee Yes. I know we've had consultations and we've been in contact, particularly with Ottawa city police to examine how their system works.

Public Safety committee There are challenges in regard to the weather and the climate as was specified earlier—extreme heat through the Okanagan with the vehicles closed, and in the north, the temperature. I'm not technically savvy on the specifications, but I do know that there is a temperature range and that does pose a challenge.
