Mr. Chair, the fire season certainly was terrible down here on the south end of the Territories. Knowing the conditions, knowing that we might have had a bad fire season, knowing the conditions and the dryness, is there any other area that has similar conditions down here? People are saying that it’s so dry down in the south part of the Northwest Territories, it’s prime condition for a fire. If the fire does go, it is so dry it will take off really fast and it’s something that we were expecting. Given this and in follow-up to Mr. Bromley’s questions on the review and looking at all of the good things and all the worst of the fire season and given that we have no water – there are many factors – were these conditions for the perfect storm of fire season?

We had it here. We know the amount of money that we spent, and I’m very happy to hear that the Minister is going to involve the committee at some time through the review of asking questions or presenting the review to us on the fire in the south part of the Territories. Was this the season of all seasons of a perfect storm of fires that it was, as they say, waiting to be lit? We’re experiencing low water in the Mackenzie River this fall. There are a number of factors that come into play in this fire season. Thank you.
