Thank you, Madam Chair. There was an overage in terms of the costs of fighting fires in the last fiscal year. In particular, this arose toward the end of the fire season, and in particular in the North Slave region with fires that were started late, and all started roughly within the same period of time, which demanded a significant amount of resources that had to be marshalled in order to fight those fires. The supplementary appropriation is in response to that effort.
