Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for Municipal and Community Affairs, Mr. Steen. We talk about the protection of people, property and how basically we have been setting these standards that we are using to determine capital to our communities. My concern, Mr. Speaker, is with the fire truck in Fort McPherson, which was purchased in 1983 and is almost 20 years old.

Mr. Speaker, I have written letters to the Minister, to his department. I have talked to the Minister himself and people within his department on ensuring that this is part of the capital planning process.

I have just received correspondence that an individual was flown up from Winnipeg to do an inspection of the vehicle, in which the vehicle was not even able to be removed from the fire hall because of the condition that it is in. Again, they sent individuals in this last week and again it has problems in regard to oil pressure. The pump froze up and now they are talking about it is going to cost another $1,000 to $7,000 for parts.
