They say in this business that sometimes your words come back to haunt you and I guess they did on this one, when I was being humorous as the chairman of the Standing Committee on Finance. I want to assure the House that there has been no deviation from the previous Minister in terms of the fire marshal. The system which was in place in the past is currently there. I have not made any attempts to add any humour to the fire marshal's office. The previous fire marshal departed by his own decision. We are in the throws of looking to recruit a new fire marshal. The deputy minister is interviewing next week. I want to say for the record, and I appreciate the question, it is business as usual. It is a dangerous business. We need to ensure that the integrity of the fire marshal's office is maintained and that is exactly the way in which I intend to behave. Thank you.
