Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister responsible for fire suppression a question with respect to his Minister's statement. I commend him for being able to give an increase to the certified firefighters, as they certainly are worth all of the money that they make. They work very hard and they work in very hard conditions. I've noted that the Minister has increased their wages from $8.75 to $11.50 per hour. The Minister indicated in Fort Smith in May that he was going to do this. I would like to ask the Minister whether this increase in salary is effective today's date, or at the beginning of the fire season. Thank you.
