Thank you, Madam Chair. My question is about the forest fire centre in Fort Smith and the feasibility of it being maintained to operate year round. A lot of the people that deal with the forest fires, such as fire fighters, are laid off all winter. At the Fort Smith fire centre, there are people that have been hired in the warehouse and also at the fire centre year round. This was a concern of the Resource Committee in which we were asking for exact inventory of the feasibility of maintaining this operation. You are tying it into the forest management side and saying that was one of the reasons for amalgamation. I would like to know exactly what is the cost to operate and maintain that forest fire centre all year versus having to shut down during the off-season when there are not any forest fires?
