Thank you, Mr. Chair. This is the first capital budget after the experiences of the evacuation of Fort Good Hope. And there's some situations that was experienced, particularly with fuel supply. So having learned from the shortage of fuel storage and capacity and having the airplanes go all the way back to Fort Simpson to refuel, burns up mold // fuel and de-mold // fuel. So given those types of experiences there, is there anything in this capital budget to reflect what we experienced during that wildfire season? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

And to see the climate change and the very likelihood of having forest fires in our territory every summer is very likely to happen. So in short, I'll be supporting this motion on the spirit of management, efficiencies, and responses to protect our homes. We only got to look at the community of Enterprise, Mr. Speaker, the losses there and the effects and the costly effects for that matter, Mr...

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Thanks to the Minister for that reply. My other question is, is the Deline fuel tank farm at the airport sufficient for unexpected fires that we experienced with the consumption aircraft fuel during that season?
