Samuel Gargan Deh Cho

I just want to remind the Minister that there is a need in Kakisa to have additional garages to store the equipment they have there. The government has invested quite a bit in equipment and vehicles in that community. You only have a two-bay garage and one of them is used for the fire fighting dry chemical vehicle. There are about four or five pieces of equipment that sit out while only one of them can be used at any given time. I just wanted to raise that concern because it certainly is a big investment and I would hate to see that investment depreciate because they are being exposed to the cold.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under the Fort Smith region, I raised an issue with the department with regard to renovation of the firehall for the community of Edzo. I realize we have one in the capital estimates for Rae-Edzo, but specifically for the Rae firehall. Could I ask the Minister what the status of the renovations are to the Edzo facility, as I discussed with the department? Thank you.
