Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for his answer. I guess I'm just looking at springtime when the fire crews are ready to go and there are no fires, it is a perfect opportunity to utilize that staff in the communities and surrounding areas to maybe potentially fire smart their communities to start with. So that's where I'm looking is existing staff that are not fighting fires presently, and I believe each community does have a fire suppressant crew that could potentially be put to work in the short term to start helping them.
I appreciate the department working with the communities and working on the plans, but here's an opportunity again to be pro-active with the staff there. So this is what I'm trying to hopefully look for. That will be my last comment on this matter. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
