Silas Arngna'naaq Kivallivik

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think we received requests from all regions in the Northwest Territories, where there is either a lot of fishing or hunting activity, especially on the part of sport hunters and sport fishermen. Certainly, I would be willing to consider the requests being made, but I would have to look at them in the context of what resources are available and where the work is most required. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

The Deputy Speaker Brian Lewis

Thank you, Mr. Arngna'naaq. Item 6, oral questions. Item 7, written questions. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a written question for the Minister responsible for fire management. Would the Minister responsible for fire management provide to this House the person years used last year to attack fires in comparison to the current person years used this year to attack fires?

This would include seasonal PYs, casual PYs and indeterminate PYs.

Mr. Speaker, I have a few more, if I may proceed. Thank you.

The Deputy Speaker Brian Lewis

Carry on.

Would the Minister responsible for the fire management program provide to this House the standards of Renewable Resources for fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters?

Would the Minister also provide to this House the standards of Government Services for fixed-Wing aircraft and helicopters?

My last question is for the Minister responsible for the forest fire management program. Would he provide to this House:

1. The number of northern pilots currently working for Buffalo Airways flying DC-4s and CL-215s?

2. What are the pilot qualifications for DC-4s and CL-215s?

3. Would the Minister provide a copy of the contract signed with Buffalo Airways for heavy land-base equipment and CL-215s?

Thank you.
