Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do note that there has been a substantial reduction in the overall budget for forest management, $33.6 million down to $28.6 million. I suspect that is related to not starting out with the same degree of capability or capacity, I guess, for fighting forest fires, but I would like to get that confirmed.

As well, in the contract services, getting into the detail, there is a reduction in the order of $3 million.

Finally, I am concerned about the reduction of $300,000 from forest resources. As we’ve discussed in the House before, as we move toward important biomass programs to help our communities and our industry that is now proposing a pellet manufacturing plant, of course they’re relying on good information on sustainable yield of our forests throughout the NWT, as well as good forest inventories and so on. I’m wondering, again that’s a real hit to the forest resources just at a time when we’re proposing to move more and more to local use of our forest resources. Those three points, if I could get some explanation and justification on the forest resources side and what we’re dropping there.
