Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The honourable Member is obviously correct that there have been a number of proposals that have been submitted. In fact, as far back as 1988, the concept of a fire training school had been proposed. It is also a submission that has been received by this government. We have not, as you know, received the appropriate Cabinet approval to proceed with it. I note that there is still a great deal of concern that has been expressed by people in the communities as to the need and the appropriateness of the training that they receive in terms of improving their fire fighting skills. So it is a matter that obviously has to be considered and dealt with by Cabinet. Just to remind Members that it is part of the consideration in our capital needs assessment, but whether it receives final approval in consideration is a matter that needs to be addressed by Cabinet.
