Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We foresee that there is not going to be any significant change. I think the motion talked about those contracts which are given out to southern companies. The finance committee would like to see more of them taken up by northern contractors. Bands and corporations have been allowed to get a fire crew, the government will continue to do this. I am looking at options for this year. I have asked my department to continue to contract with the communities, for this year, until the new policy comes into play. That may also improve our contracting system in the communities after the report has come out. The motion would support the report with regard to hiring more local and also northern contractors. Thank you.
