Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know there were some years when Calgary was complaining about the smoke from the Northwest Territories, including places in Alaska and in Saskatchewan. There is not much we can do about it when we have the kind of fires we have seen in recent years with the drought conditions, the low water content in the ground and the low annual precipitation we have seen in certain years, as well as the kind of summers that we have seen with a lot of lightning activity for instance. We do try to keep the fires down to a minimum within a certain budget. We do not fight all the fires, but we do try. We have tried to increase our response capability so that in the initial attack

phase we are trying to increase our capability of putting out as many fires as possible in the initial start up times. Thank you.
