People are fed up with fundraising and don't want to give. It's the police's job and they should pay for it. Chris - we are an essential emergency service and snowmobilers are recreation. They are asking us to delay the billing until April 1st 2000 so they can out a plan in action and get budgets. Chris thinks we should be getting money from the government to cover overhead costs and police should pay search expenses only.
Funding needs to come from government.
If I were in the same situation as police, I would also try to buy time. Chris - some of the province won't be covered by searchers. He will put this in writing and send to Chris. Calvin - We are losing our best people over the stakeholder's inaction. We have been upfront and straight with them.
