I can speak to that. There's an entity called the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, which is an entity that actually resides in Winnipeg. It's funded by provinces and territories, and it coordinates resources throughout Canada. If P.E.I. needs water bombers, they make a request into CIFFC, and through prearrangements, that group coordinates bringing the resources together and getting them to the province. In addition, they have MOUs with the United States and other countries as well.
