I think it's a headache left over from the days when government used land as they wished in a lot of the small communities. A lot of the communities have doubled or tripled in size in the last 10 years, so we are sort of bursting at the seams. This present site is not safe for the public so they want the helicopter pads relocated further away from the community.

By spending the $20,000 this year, what's anticipated there? Are you just going to cut some wood so you can make a space for it somewhere else, or what's the plan there?

How far from Fort Providence will the heliport now be relocated because I would assume -- having put this money forward and having identified money in previous years -- you have picked a location.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could the Minister inform me what a satellite base is? I see there's something being built here or moved or whatever.

Mr. Chairman, satellite base means satellites of base camps. We have facilities out at Stewart Lake where we house fire crews for certain high-risk periods of time so that the response time is diminished. Stewart Lake is between 50 and 70 miles out, towards the mountains, outside of Tulita. There is a base camp there owned by Renewable Resources. That's what the money is going to be used for.

Madam ... sorry.
--- Laughter I should have looked. Mr. Chairman, this particular satellite base camp, as you would call it, is simply tent frames for the crew's sleeping quarters; what is, I believe, a metal storage shed for keeping equipment out of the reach of bears, and cook shacks. It's mostly canvas-covered, stick-built frames. Thank you.
