Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, we could work with the municipality to make the current equipment available, but in the Avery Cooper study, it stipulates that the two pieces of equipment, the foam trucks, both need to be upgraded or renovated. Timewise, in what period of time is required, it is a few years, but some time down the line, it is going to be required. To commit, right now, to saying that we will help upgrade this piece of equipment, is a difficult commitment to make at this point in time. Mr. Picco, the honourable Member for Iqaluit, has commissioned some consultants to look at the study again and, pending the outcome of that report, we will carry on the discussion. Something like this, we need to work together and try to come to a satisfactory conclusion and I think this is one of the situations where we are going to have to wait for the results of the study. Thank you.
