Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I've heard, with interest, comments made by the Minister responsible for forest fire management and my question is directed to him. I recognize we can't ask the Minister to confirm or deny a comment made to the media, however, Mr. Morin indicated this morning that the DC-4s are working with the Bird Dog officers. I would like to ask the Minister what is the status of the employment of the Bird Dog officers. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just came back on Saturday from Norman Wells, and all four Bird Dog officers were located in Norman Wells. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Last week they were working with CL-215s. It is my understanding that the DC-4 was used for the fire yesterday, but I don't know whether the Bird Dog officers accompanied it or not. I know the department is faxing stuff down to Fort Smith today to give to the union people. That's basically what I know of that issue right now. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister give us the status of employment with regard to Bird Dog officers? When does he anticipate they'll be back working with the DC-4s? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is my understanding that the DC-4s are working and that the Bird Dog officers should be accompanying them. At present in Norman Wells, there are no planes flying today because of smoke conditions, other than helicopters and there are ground crews fighting fires. The Bird Dog officers, CL-215s and DC-4s won't be flying today, unless the smoke clears. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I asked the Minister whether or not the Bird Dog officers are working with the DC-4s. The Minister indicated they should be, but I have been advised otherwise. I would like the Minister to determine whether he can confirm for this House whether or not the Bird Dog officers are, indeed, flying with the DC-4s. Thank you.
