Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Renewable Resources. Mr. Speaker, I have a request for proposal to review the forest fighting management policy and programs. This is done by the Department of Renewable Resources. I also understand there was an advertisement in the papers for tender to provide suppression services to Fort Simpson, I believe. My concern is Evergreen Forestry which is a joint initiative by the Fort Providence band and the Hay River Reserve band whose term is running out this summer. I would like to ask the Minister whether the intent is to dispose of all those past initiatives of those communities and replace them with a whole new management regime that requires anyone from anywhere in the north to tender a bid to supply suppression in the territories.
