Mr. Speaker, yes, there is a policy on community scorches which is in place within this government. It does provide for reimbursement to community members for gas incurred in a search of this kind, and that is happening in Simpson in connection with this search. The RCMP also can, and have, made funds available for searches of this kind, and those funds were already made available for the air part of the search that has been under way. I should also note that, through the co-operation of the Department of Renewable Resources, fire crews have also been made available to assist with the search, and that department has absorbed related costs associated with that and of course, Mr. Speaker, community volunteers are also assisting. All that is co-ordinated by the RCMP.
