Question 788-18(2): Mackenzie Delta Forest Fire Operations

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a couple of questions for the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources. Mr. Speaker, with the fire season upon us, I would like to ask the Minister: when does the Minister expect our fire crews in my riding of the Mackenzie Delta to start up for the season? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Masi. Minister of Environment and Natural Resources.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That level of detail, I do not have at my fingertips. I will follow up with the department and see when they are mobilizing, but I would assume that, because it is starting to warm up, they are probably getting ready for the fire season. I will confirm that, and I will share that information with the Member. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
