Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the honourable Minister of Safety and Public Services. Earlier this morning, I received a phone call from one of my communities regarding the wall tents that are sold in the regional stores in my area. According to the gentleman, Mr. Speaker, wall tents that are sold now have to be fire retardant. Also, according to the same gentleman, when you move around your personal effects from camp to camp, these tents
can be very heavy and cumbersome. People in the eastern Arctic go camping in the early spring and late fall when they use Coleman lamps and stoves.
When you have your Coleman lamps and stoves on in an airtight tent, there is a danger of a build up of poisonous gas. My question to the honourable Minister, Mr. Speaker, is, is there a regulation that wall tents sold in regional stores now have to be treated with a fire retardant coating? Thank you.
