Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, recently there have been fires that have been happening in the communities I represent. The fire last year took a life. I am going to ask the question to the Minister of MACA who is responsible for emergency measures. The last fire that happened in Arctic Bay, we were lucky not to lose any lives because the people went out on time. We found out that the equipment was not up-to-date. The apparatus froze on the fire brigades. The fire truck was frozen, so we had to use an ordinary water truck to put out the fire. My question, is there funding for equipment to be used in the small communities for firefighting? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
