Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to assure the Member that there is no lack of safety and we don't jeopardize our employees by placing them in unsafe working conditions. As far as the department and I are concerned, Buffalo Airways is a safe company and they agreed with this government about standards, have met those standards and will be fighting fires. Some Bird Dog officers have agreed to go to work. We have taken steps to ensure that they all have the opportunity to go back to work, and once those steps are final, they will be given notice to report to a base at 8:00 in the morning. If they choose not to, we will look for other people to replace them. Thank you.
