Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I feel 24 hours is not sufficient. We should at least give them 48 hours. Twenty-four hours is a short timeframe. To allow communities to take more control and feel the value, an acknowledgement that they have some say and an ability to react to fires without having to sit in the communities, waiting for someone in the fire centre in Fort Smith telling them when he should respond, or which fire is a priority over another...we should allow the communities more flexibility. I would like to ask the Minister if he would consider expanding the timeframe from 24 hours to 48 hours? Thank you.
