Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, that was indeed good information from the Premier. In the appropriation it leaves about $9 million in the appropriation special force fire fighting. I am wondering, maybe we could see with the Minister of Finance or with the Premier, if he would like, to let us know indeed, what was expended on a level one, level two, level three, because a lot of jurisdictions, and Mr. Morin is correct, but this jurisdiction is not unique. Indeed a lot of jurisdictions where fire is not invading a commercial or private property or commercial stand of wood, then indeed, the fire is left to burn as mother nature allowed. Indeed the last figure I saw was about 80 percent of all fires in the Northwest Territories are caused by lightening or natural causes, so I am wondering if that breakdown is possible to see how that money was being spent. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
