Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I thank the Minister for his response. I believe the value system they use is only if a community or a cabin or a man-made infrastructure is threatened, only then will the department action that fire.
I ask the question, how do we come up with a value system where we protect the small cabin in the middle of the forest that is going to be burnt? What is the value of the cabin then, Mr. Speaker? If you cannot use the land around your cabin, for which you built the cabin in the first place, it is not usable anymore as you cannot trap or hunt. What is the value? Why do you not just let the cabin burn so the trapper can get compensated and build in another place?
I ask the Minister, was there any consultation done with trappers and people in the communities when they came up with this value system that determines which fires they will action and which fires they will not action? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
