Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, we definitely want to review the importance of this item. The other Members of this House asked me last week what are we doing for the volunteer firefighters. There are a number of initiatives we would like to consider. Some of them are to talk to the fire brigades to see exactly what the needs are. It is difficult at this time to ascertain those needs.

Perhaps one of the good things I can announce today is that we want to put more funding into the fire protection for the communities so hopefully, that is part of the overall strategy we can employ. Thank you.
