Mr. Chairman, in regards to Renewable Resource officers, I have also been concerned for a long time, about the adequacy of the staff resources, and the training available to this department, particularly in my region. Back in March of 1989, Mr. Chairman, I raised concerns that there were insufficient fuel operations personnel in place to meet the Renewable Resources workload of the North Slave region.
At the same time, I also expressed concern about the need for an effective in-service training program for Renewable Resources officers. I would like to ask the Minister now, whether there has been any substantive improvement in the level of staffing, and the type of training for fuel operations, particularly in my region.
