Yes, that is what creates the problems. If we paid the people the overtime as they earned it, then they wouldn't qualify for UIC. Sometimes people may get confused and not understand the system we're using.

I guess the problem seems to be that the firefighters start at the beginning of May and go until the middle of September. So you're looking at not quite six months, but a good five months and then their accumulated overtime which would make them eligible. What I think the problem is is that once they're deemed eligible, they may still have some overtime left that they're waiting for, that they possibly could get once they're deemed eligible. I think that's the system I'm talking about trying to improve. If you can somehow give them their final pay-out once their eligibility is confirmed for UI. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, what are "silviculture programs"? What types of programs are they? I noticed them in the objectives and I've also noticed them under forest management.

Mr. Chairman, the silviculture is not just tree planting, but is the whole area of the treatment of trees, diseases, the insects and so on of trees. The whole management of a tree is what silviculture is involved in.

To the reforestation question, the base we have for that particular section is $140,000 .

Mr. Chairman, I'm told that the areas where reforestation is done are in those areas where trees have been cut and where they feel it will be difficult to have natural regrowth in that particular area.
