Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, one thing is that the last year , in fact, I guess the last two summers won't necessarily be indicative of the future costs, and I say that because there's been some efforts -- there's been an effort to fight more fires in order to ensure that there's -- you know, basically a lower risk is being taken, and that's as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to, you know, prevent the chances if there happen to be an evacuation of a community, the need to minimize the number of firefighters that would have to come in, the need to minimize the number of firefighters that are in small in closely knit quarters in camps. So the strategy was to be much more aggressive in the last two years than what normally would be.

So these won't necessarily again, as I say, be the examples to rely on. That said, I'm certainly taking the point, and I think I would share this with my colleagues, that, you know, climate change is bringing more extreme weather events. That seems to be a fact experienced worldwide. So there was no doubt going to have to be more work done on these estimates. I'm just not sure that the last two years will be the years to use as the examples. Thank you, Madam Chair.
