Thank you. I understand that we have come to an agreement with MACA to cost share the firebreak and fire protection program that is offered to communities. We went through the exercise last year of priorizing different communities. For instance, communities like Fort Good Hope were rated as high priority because they are heavily wooded and there are still a lot of trees right through the community. Other communities such as Deline had a lower rating because the trees aren't as thick and as tall as other communities such as Snare Lake. They don't have the types of trees and vegetation that would cause as much fire problems as other communities, That is how they are rated; they are rated on a one-to-four basis. Last year, all of the communities were given money to construct fireguards. Thank you.
