Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a general comment on the appropriation. This year there was a large appropriation in the bill for the forest fire fighting. I am wondering if there is some type of policy the government actually has in place when we are looking at expending those monies to fight fires do you target, for example commercial stands of wood first, before you would fight a fire? Do you look at cabins that might go down as private property? It seems like a large amount of money. How does the department decide which fire to fight, when you look at the budgeted amount? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
