Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to stay on the same subject of trees. I have lived in the west for quite a long time now and have grown to love these trees. Mr. Chairman, I know when we take things over from the federal government, we end up having the bad jobs. We do not own the trees, yet we are responsible for putting out the fires which threaten to destroy them. There are a few other things which we have taken over also that puts a heavy obligation on us, but we do not get the nice parts which are connected with that particular activity. Since we have taken over fire suppression from the federal government, what other jobs in connection with trees are the federal government still responsible for? Since they own the trees, what does the federal government do to protect this assets which belongs to the Crown?
