Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Through the request for proposals for fixed-wing bombers and Bird Dog planes, we did require certain standards. For example, we did put into the proposal that possibly you would need 12 doors that opened at two seconds and things like that, but we would consider alternates. That was very clear in the request for proposals. We would consider alternates on how the service is delivered to the Northwest Territories through a northern operator's company. We did look at the proposals, we considered them and they were evaluated extensively. In the end, we accepted Buffalo Airways' proposal. It saved this government approximately $5 million over a five-year period. We feel confident that they meet the standards we can live with to fight fires in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
