Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the territorial forest fire centre supports many regional operations. So every region has a regional fire base so in the five -- Yellowknife, Hay River, Fort Smith, Norman Wells, Fort Simpson, and Inuvik, all have regional fire bases, and there are also smaller bases at other communities within all of those regions. So Fort Providence, for example, has a base and fire crews based out of there.

We certainly do attempt to work with the regions, and I've also had some conversations with the department about looking at decentralizing some positions that are able to be essentially, you know, done from other locations across the NWT. So at this time, those conversations are continuing not specifically related to the territorial fire centre, however. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
