Mr. Chairman, this is in regards to that. It is pretty tough to fight a fire when you don’t have the proper gear in the communities that are one of the smaller communities. In Sachs Harbour, all their bunker gear was soaked in sewage. They tried to wash it out. They can’t get the stink out. I think if the fire marshal’s office would go into the community, the fire truck is still, I think, in the cold storage. Just people’s safety, like Mr. Krutko said. There are fires in the communities that we have trouble fighting fires. You are on the defence if you can’t go in the offensive stages of a fire. I think we could look at reallocating some of that funding, just a little bit of it, just to make sure that bunker gear and Scott Air Packs are available to the communities. Thank you. More of a comment.
