Thank you, Madam Chair. In fact, that is one of the reasons why we combined the two activities into one. A large number of the positions in forest fire management are actually seasonal positions and, in a year where there is not a lot of activity in a particular region, we feel that we can use those crews to do things like timber inventory for commercial harvest, et cetera. That certainly was one of objectives in combining the forest management and forest fire management activities to be able to use in the fire season. Everyone can be working on the fire program. In a year or an area where there is not as much activity in the fire side, they can also be doing the inventory work. Thank you.
