Thank you, Mr. Chair. We initiated this based on, as the Minister said, the Manitoba board which contacted us and they were supportive of other boards taking the firefighters’ cases on. We had initial discussions with them. We then looked at the firefighters’ cases. We held a meeting here in Yellowknife with the International Firefighters’ Association and the local firefighters’ association and were able to agree 100 percent on what needed to be added and we are consistent with the rest of the country and they were very pleased with the cancers that are involved. As the science gets better, if there are other cancers that are identified, certainly then they would be added as well.
