Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I don't -- I'm happy to come back perhaps tomorrow if there's questions on the floor regarding the total estimated or projected costs related to both the emergency response as well as to the fire response. I'm hesitant to give rough estimates when I don't have that information before me. I don't want to contribute to the conversation in a way that won't advance it with accurate numbers. So, again, I hear the Member asking. As I said, I'll go back and make sure that we have those numbers put together. Numbers can -- values do still continue to come in. There's still work being done to put that together on the part of all departments that were involved. We do certainly have those preliminary estimates but, again, I'm here only with respect to the items that are in the supplementary estimates. So one of the prior items, we did discuss the fire suppression budgets. We have that number available. Again, the $121 million on which we were seeking an additional 24, but with respect to the full evacuation costs that is something much bigger. We had to wait for Red Cross to provide their invoices, the Government of Alberta to provide their invoices. So, again, I want to contribute to the conversation publicly in a way that is accurate, and that's not information I have here. Thank you.
