Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I share some of the concerns of my other colleagues with respect to lands and the action zones that appears to the communities that fires aren't being fought, especially when they are kind of close. That continues to be a concern so nobody is quite certain about what criteria is being used. Sometimes they fight and sometimes they don't. The community leaders get quite concerned. How do they fight it up north? They get to fight what is close to their communities. Over here, they don't. They are not. People continue to be concerned about the fire suppression as well as the fire suppression contract itself. I am not too sure how it worked out last year, if there was almost an extra $3 million spent last year. Is it the case sometimes where fires aren't fought because it seems like it is going to be too expensive? Is that how they are making decisions, rather than having observation zones and action zones? Just with that, Mr. Chair.
