Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This activity of fire safety deals with training of professional and volunteer fire chiefs and fire departments, and the delivery of fire prevention programs, et cetera. It has been brought to my attention, by some of the smaller communities which I represent, that there is a real need to upgrade the fire equipment. I believe your department received a letter from Fort Liard. Trout Lake and Jean Marie River have also indicated their concerns to me. You have a good program for volunteer fire chiefs. I believe they go for training in Rae-Edzo. The comments I have received indicate it is a good program and when they attend training they learn a great deal of useful information which they take back to their communities. They are also told that there is a number of different kinds of equipment which they are entitled to in each community. Once the get back to their communities and ask for the type of equipment which they are supposed to have, it takes them a long time to obtain the equipment from your department. Can the Minister inform me if his department has been able to find out what the problem is and to solve these problems? Thank you.
