Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister responsible for fire management a question. Mr. Speaker, earlier this morning, the Minister indicated that, according to Transport Canada guidelines, the pilot qualifications were sufficient enough to fight fires. I know that Transport Canada does certify pilots; however, the requirement for pilots to fly in these fire conditions is stipulated by this government through their request for proposals. The Minister commented last week about the ratchet type of effect with regard to the requirements for pilots. I would like to ask the Minister whether he feels the stipulations developed by his department for pilots were too rigid under the request for proposals that he sent out. Thank you.
