Thank you, Mr. Chairman. At the start of the season, the practice has been the 215s, and we would anticipate following with 802s, that you’d have right now two to start the season. Two of the 215s are stationed in Yellowknife, and the other two are on the ground in the South Slave at the base in Fort Smith. Then from there they’re deployed as required. Conair is not the manufacturer; they’re the Canadian supplier for Air Tractor. The planes are manufactured in Texas I believe. We have a letter of commitment and we’ve got that point clarified, at the request of committee, that if we proceed with the purchase, Conair will sell us the planes and there’s no strings or caveats on them getting the contract or not, getting us parts, unless we do business with them or anything of that nature, and that letter was shared with committee. Thank you.
