        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4532503\"> Mr. Speaker, insofar as Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, INAC, and its special operating agency, Indian Oil and Gas Canada, are concerned: INAC provides core capital funding to each First Nation community on an annual basis through the capital facilities and maintenance program. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4532504\">First Nations prioritize spending to meet their requirements for community services, including fire protection. First Nations communities are not required to provide detailed reports on their funding decisions with their core funding, including those relating to fire protective services. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4532505\">With regard to (a), the annual breakdown of reported fires is as follows: in 2006, 1025; in 2007, 1572; in 2008, 1472; in 2009, 1252; in 2010, 954.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4532506\"> In 2010, a decision was taken to stop collecting data of fire incidents on reserve in order to reduce the reporting burden on First Nations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4532507\"> INAC will work with partner organizations, including the Aboriginal Firefighters Association of Canada, on new options to address the fire data gaps on reserve. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4532508\">With regard to (b), (c), and (d), First Nations manage fire protection services on reserve and are responsible for making specific decisions regarding fire protection services under the annual core capital funding they receive from INAC. First Nations may establish their own fire departments, or contract fire protection services from nearby communities through a municipal transfer service agreement. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"4532503\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, dans la mesure o\u00f9 Affaires autochtones et du Nord Canada, soit AANC, et son organisme de service sp\u00e9cial, P\u00e9trole et gaz des Indiens du Canada, sont concern\u00e9s, AANC fournit chaque ann\u00e9e un financement de base aux Premi\u00e8res Nations par l\u2019entremise du programme en fonction de leurs besoins en services communautaires, dont la protection incendie. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4532504\">Les Premi\u00e8res Nations ne sont pas tenues de fournir des rapports d\u00e9taill\u00e9s sur les d\u00e9cisions de financement qu'elles prennent concernant le financement de base qu'elles re\u00e7oivent, y compris en ce qui concerne les services de protection contre l'incendie. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4532505\">En r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 la partie a) de la question, le nombre d\u2019incendies rapport\u00e9 annuellement est r\u00e9parti ainsi: 1 025 incendies ont \u00e9t\u00e9 rapport\u00e9s en 2006; en 2007, 1 572 l\u2019ont \u00e9t\u00e9; 1 472 l\u2019ont \u00e9t\u00e9 en 2008; 1 252 l\u2019ont \u00e9t\u00e9 en 2009; et en 2010, 954 incendies ont \u00e9t\u00e9 rapport\u00e9s. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4532506\">En 2010, la d\u00e9cision d\u2019arr\u00eater la collecte des donn\u00e9es sur les incendies dans les r\u00e9serves a \u00e9t\u00e9 prise afin de r\u00e9duire le fardeau des rapports pour les Premi\u00e8res Nations. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4532507\">AANC travaillera avec les organisations partenaires, y compris avec l'Association des Pompiers Autochtones du Canada, \u00e0 de nouvelles options disponibles pour combler les lacunes de donn\u00e9es d'incendie dans les r\u00e9serves.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4532508\">En ce qui a trait aux parties b), c) et d) de la question, les Premi\u00e8res Nations g\u00e8rent les services de protection contre l'incendie dans les r\u00e9serves et chaque nation prend des d\u00e9cisions pour de tels services dans le cadre du financement de base annuel qu\u2019elle re\u00e7oit d\u2019AANC. Une nation peut \u00e9tablir son propre service d'incendie ou recourir par contrat aux services d'une communaut\u00e9 voisine dans le cadre d'une entente de service de type municipal. </p>"
