Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, many residents welcomed those displaced by flooding into their homes when accommodations were needed. Will the Minister confirm if there will been an opportunity to compensate those who opened their homes when accommodations were needed? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, these questions are for the Minister of MACA.

Mr. Speaker, we have flood victims sleeping in tents, staying at the shelters, some with friends, and some with no place to stay. Can the Minister tell me when and how we will house those that have been displaced from their homes as residents need immediate accommodation? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, committee. Does the committee agree that this concludes our consideration of Bill 46: An Act to Amend the Motor Vehicles Act?

Thank you, committee. We have concluded consideration of Committee Report 2719(2): Special Committee on Reconciliation and Indigenous Affairs Interim Report: What We Heard About the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Negotiating Agreements. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister tell me if the costs for additional abatement services paid directly, are they paid directly by the GNWT, and does the amount come off the $240,000 maximum allotted for damages? Thank you.

Thank you, committee. Does the committee agree that this concludes our consideration of Bill 47: An Act to Amend the Employment Standards Act, No. 2?

Clauses 2122, does the committee degree?

Thank you, Mr. Johnson. Ms. Semmler.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we talk about lessons learned and the lesson is that we have communities in flood zones. We have residents in flood zones. We have businesses in flood zones. That will not change. So when will the Minister start discussions with communities and federal government on what can be done to mitigate damage, or do we need to be taught further lessons and incur more costs before we take some action on mitigation? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Clause 4, does the committee agree?
