Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under fire safety, the NWT Association of Fire Chiefs, that figure of $10,000 has remained steady for quite awhile. Given the economic times we're facing, I recognize that the government doesn't have as many dollars as they would like, but to operate a program like that, $10,000 five years ago was a lot of money but as it is still the same five years later, it diminishes in value. I'm wondering why it has remained at $10,000 for all these years. Is this sort of a fixed thing? Is this all they've asked for? I would like to recommend they get more.
