Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This budget is very much like the Minister himself; very little controversy. Mr. Chairman, the committee, in reviewing the Renewable Resources budget, has two areas of concern. One is with the fire base in Fort McPherson. There was some concern that $1.3 million was a significant amount of money for a seasonal facility. While the budget indicated it is replacement, it seemed like a significant replacement. We thought it should be reconsidered in light of other priorities.

Another area of significant concern is with respect to -- and Mr. Zoe has spoken to it many times -- the construction of the Lac la Martre office/warehouse complex which was in the 1991-92 capital estimates and previously committed by the government, but which is now being removed. With this in mind, Mr. Chairman, I will conclude my comments. Thank you.
