Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I have a vague recollection, in fact, that -- well, I can certainly, firstly, confirm that, yes, a large proportion of the spending on fire suppression has, indeed, happened over the last, say, month, and in particular in the last couple of weeks. I had a number in my head, and I'm just trying to see if I can find where in my notes that was before throwing it out inappropriately. I think I will not do that since I can't seem to find it quickly. I'll turn it back to the Member but, Madam Chair, if I find it, I will -- I'll share it. It is -- it has been a significant amount. Perhaps, I'll put it this way: We were preparing for there to be a supplementary appropriation going into the -- what was to be the August session. The number in terms of what we were looking for is -- has just -- it has astronomically grown in the space of the couple of weeks before what would have been our August session to now. So I don't necessarily know if it was -- I was estimating it was at around $10 million a week, Madam Chair, and I'm getting some confirmation that my recollection might be accurate. There you go. Thank you.
