Mr. Chair, I can certainly respond to that.
This morning, we have 150 troops in each of the provinces—Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and P.E.I.—so we're up to 150 this morning and, as the minister mentioned yesterday, more to come should the provinces ask for them.
One thing to remember is that when these crises start, we have to understand the problem. Emergency management centres in the provinces get the calls and understand where the pressures are, what the damage is and what the priority will be. So there are planning efforts to start with. As we understand the problem better, the troops unfold on the ground to be able to tackle the issues as mandated or as asked by the province. We were at 100 yesterday, and we're at 150 now. As the provinces determine where the effort needs to be, we'll reassign forces as applicable.
I'll pass it on to my colleague now.
