Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I know that some latitude is being given here to try to recognize that we are in a difficult position today. I know that many members of the public are likely watching today and from places all across western Canada at this point. Madam Chair, this -- I am trying to answer some questions that are not directly on the supplementary appropriation but that are at least related to the costs associated or costs that might be associated with amount. Madam Chair, the very specific details of firefighting efforts are really not something that I think we're in a position to answer to today. I'm deeply -- I mean, we were all, I think, affected by watching one of the communities of the Northwest Territories be so decimated by a wildfire and at the same time one of the communities being so urgently -- well, multiple communities being then so urgently removed.
Madam Chair, I heard it described to me when that fire moved almost 40 kilometres in a day, senior members of the firefighting team describe it as a nightmare, and they were outright shell shocked. So this is not to say that there's not people who are experts who are over at ECC and with our fire teams who are not equally affected. Madam Chair, I think beyond that, I don't -- I'm not going to move it over to the Member -- or to the Minister only because, again, there should be a fulsome discussion, there should be full opportunity for question and debate, and right now the context is around the costs of the fires and not some of the other choices that were made. There will be an opportunity for that. I know people will be frustrated that this is not today, but today is really about making sure that those firefighters who are still fighting those fires have the resources to do so. Thank you.
