I've got nothing further. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm looking at page 89, the Mackenzie River Basin Board. I see there's continued allowance there of $40,000 for this activity. Could the Minister explain the roles and responsibilities or activities for this basin board. Thank you.

Thanks, Mr. Chair. That's a good positive starting point. I thank the Minister for the reply. Mahsi.

On page 15, more in the Office of the Clerk there. The summary, I'm looking at the House procedure and committees, and I see an increase in there, which is good. I just want some detail or clarification. Is it the Assembly committees that are getting this increase? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Here, my questions to the Minister in this chapter or activity is landfills. A landfill in one of the communities that I represent is actually terrible. It's at the point where it's probably a fire liability with the amount of debris that have compiled over the years. And there was some efforts to recycle. And is there any willingness there from the department with the programs that are identified in this activity, or on regional operations, to have a vehicle compressor station to compress these old relics and get them cubilized so they can get shipped out of the...

Final two, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister work with the Education, Culture and Employment department to provide supports to Sahtu businesses to maintain their employees during this challenging time? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My question on this activity is, is the department working with the Sahtu communities, and all communities for that matter, on having sessions with the local governments here for your awareness to the emergency response plans per each community? Has that dialogue been started with the local governments there? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thanks to the Minister for that response. I'm glad to hear an all-of-government approach. We would need all hands-on deck here for this situation.

Can the Minister provide interest free loans to the Sahtu businesses to support cash flow to cover inventory and operating expenses for the Sahtu region? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thanks for that information by the Minister. It gives me a little bit of knowledge, some of the decision management factors that are being decided on at the office there during the first initial phase.

My next question -- I'm glad for my colleague from the Deh Cho in answering compensation for trappers. In my recent visits, and as one as the other day, a fellow was talking about the loss of his cabin and the neighbours got compensation, but he didn't. So I'll use the Minister's replies to follow through and seek compensation, including the definition of equipment losses by...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On June 6th, the community of Tulita celebrates heroic efforts lead by Mr. Rocky Norwegian, and other community members, in the evacuation of the whole community and building a firebreak during the 1995 wildfires that saw an aggressive movement within one kilometer of the community. Because of their fast action, it saved the community. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
