Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Like I have said many times, that is the process for requests for proposals. You go out with a request for proposals and you ask people to propose to you what they will offer for services. That's what was done. We evaluated it, and that is the job of the senior management committee that was in place. They evaluated that, we saw where we got the best bang for our dollar and we saved $4.8 million over five years. We awarded it to Buffalo Airways and they'll be out fighting fires.

I take the safety concerns of Bird Dog officers very seriously. We are addressing them and, hopefully, they will be addressed today. Thank you.
