Thank you, Madam Chair. So the money that came from the federal government is spent for the transformation team that's overseeing the transformation to a polytechnic as well as some contract services to put together the facility's plan which -- so they'll require some specialized architectural and engineering services to put that together as well. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, glad to hear that, and I know the facility's master plan is well underway and there's a lot of work to be done on that.
I guess my question is, can the Minister provide an update whether there's any further money committed from the federal government for the transformation? You know, I think -- well, obviously, there's hundreds of millions needed one day for infrastructure. But I know we're also doing a programming review which is kind of key to that, and we've actually agreed to re-implement some programs so I'm just wondering if there's any federal money in the programming area. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, there's nothing currently appropriated that's not -- well, if it's not showing up here, it's not coming in as an appropriation at this time. I think it is probably reasonable to assume that more is going to be needed before we get to the point of a polytechnic. But that, we'll have to stay tuned for that. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm just wondering if I've beaten my colleague to asking about this one.
It's my understanding that there is a prediction of a warmer and hotter summer this year and, as a result, probably a higher forest fire risk. So could the Minister please speak to how many airplanes are we getting for that $830,000? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And are those two aircraft with one company, or will that be spread over two organizations? Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. What happens when, or if, we don't use that money, or is this going to always be spent as a result of just keeping those airplanes on standby? Thank you.
