Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Another area where I have a lot of concern is about the people in the field, and it is quite some time since they have had their equipment replaced -- snowmobiles, equipment around the shops. They are trying to just make do with what they have. I think that sooner or later we are going to have an incident on our hands where somebody is either going to break down or basically have a situation where either someone will lose their life, or we are going to have a situation where we cannot react to something because there is an incident out on the land and we are not able to get our people out there because of the lack of adequate equipment which would allow the people to do the jobs they are trained to do.
We have some good people out in our communities and out in the field who really want to do things, but they are limited because of the lack of good equipment. We need to find ways to replace this equipment so they do have reliable equipment in the field and in the areas they work in. We have to do more to improve the working conditions of the people in the field.
I would like to ask the Minister, do they have any plans to make an attempt to seriously look at the inventory and resources we have in our communities so that we can make the job a lot easier for people out in the field?
