Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Renewable Resources. When responsibility for forest and fire suppression was transferred to this government there was a possibility that the federal government would consider supplementary funding. The funding would be for annual fire suppression and would only be considered if significant costs arose from the federal initiative or unforseen events created new responsibilities which were beyond the powers of the Government of the Northwest Territories to control. Since assuming the Renewable Resources portfolio, have any significant costs arising from the federal initiative been paid by the federal government?
