Mr. Vincent Farr:

I thank the Senator for the question. Our emergency volunteers are not amateurs. We do not step in to save the day but train to the highest standards. We would welcome arbitration. As we said, we would welcome changes to the code. We are here to contribute for every volunteer around the coast, not just our members. We know and have been told the only representative group is CUAG, but that group does not represent the everyday volunteer on the ground.
