Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The government thought the best location for a hangar and also an aircraft maintenance facility would be Fort Smith. That is our policy at the present time, but we have to do more planning as to how we are going to fight fires in the Northwest Territories. We are trying to streamline fire fighting, to utilize the resources we use to fight fires to employ as many people as we can who are from the Northwest Territories and also to utilize as many businesses that are in the Northwest Territories. We have been told we are using too many southern businesses in this program. That is the reason why we are reviewing the program. I understand the community of Fort Smith was working together to come up with a plan with the assistance of the Minister of Economic Development. Thank you.
