Mr. Chairman, the department expended $7,478,000 in their suppression task expenditure this year. Their current budget in that particular area is $7,028,000, so they were short $450,000. It was a below average fire season. The number of fires recorded was 285, Mr. Chairman, in comparison to 331 fires in 1991-92. Of course, it depends on where those fires are, Mr. Chairman. The number of fires per year is only a variable influence in the amount of suppression activity. The actual expenditure in particular years goes up and down like crazy, Mr. Chairman, and I have to tell you that I was really pleased that they came in at requiring an extra $450,000 because it is usually a lot more than that. If you
want further information, Mr. Chairman, I would suggest that the Minister of Renewable Resources provide it.
