Herb Duncan's article published Feb.14/09 "It's never to late to learn from others"

In the course of comparing the Saint John Fire Department to the Charlottetown Fire Department Mr.Duncan published what we feel to be inaccurate information.

1.He reported information from Charlottetown's 2009 budget. We were unable to find Charlottetowns 2009 budget. According to PEI's municipalities act budgets aren't due until the end of March each calendar year.

2.Mr.Duncan also reported that the Fire Department's budget was a little less than 2 million dollars. He then continued to present other dollar amounts based on this inaccurate dollar amount. According to Charlottetowns 2008 operational budget the estimated cost for Fire was 2,831,922.
