While I recognize the financial difficulties we're in, I also recognize the valuable contribution that the fire fighters make to the north in every community. The fire chiefs assemble here to discuss various problems and it is an important area. I would like to encourage the department to see where they can find additional dollars. Even a few dollars more would considerably offset the costs they are faced with now. I know we can't do anything at this time, but for future consideration if you happen to find a few more dollars, I and a lot of people feel it is vitally important that the chiefs do get together to discuss mutual problems to come up with some solutions that will benefit us all. I would just like to put that plug in, Mr. Chairman, to the Minister.
