Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As those communities mentioned have established community governments, they would be responsible for their local emergency plan. And if they require any further assistance with their local emergency plan, they could reach out to the Department of MACA for assistance in developing them or updating them. Thank you.

Yes, Mr. Speaker, I'm just notified that the Department of Infrastructure is working with MACA to work with the community on getting some funds available to do some work. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are aware of the injury during the fire fight. That being said, the hamlet is reviewing the insurance coverage with the insurance provider for the incident, and MACA's also going to be working with the administrator to assist in the confirmation of the insurance policies for the fire department. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Wildfires are the responsibility of ECC. When it comes into the community, the Department of MACA will be involved. Even prior to it coming to the community, the Department of MACA will be involved. We will have staff, a regional EMO, local EMO, involved during that time to prepare of any potential emergency. That being said, the emergency plan has been continually being worked on. It's been involved in the community to or it's been communicated to the community for involvement from NGOs and other agencies. And the draft plan is expected to be completed by middle to...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So the department and the GNWT engage directly with the Privy Council's Office, Public Safety Canada, CIRNAC, and Indigenous Services on the availability of federal programs to assist uninsured homes and businesses impacted by the 2023 wildfires with financial assistance to rebuild. The GNWT also asked those departments to engage with other federal departments and agencies, such as CMHC. They explored the other federal programs to see if they could assist with the recovery. The GNWT was advised by the PSO and the PSC that they have explored all options across the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to take a moment to recognize one of our esteemed colleagues. During my previous engagements, I've been involved actively involved with the local Hay River Legion in Hay River, and I was on the executive. I was able to do lots of work with this individual in regards to his commitments.

The one I speak of is none other than our sergeantatarms of the Legislative Assembly, Mr. Floyd Powder. Today I stand in the House to commend Mr. Powder for his outstanding contribution to our nation's veterans, a commitment that has gained federal recognition with the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thanks for the question from the Member from the Deh Cho. I don't have a full detailed list, but I can get her a full detailed list. But what we did do is we -- some of the programs and services that were available for the residents, so the federal DFAA was available, or the DAP program for us, the GNWT Evacuation Assistance Program, the Red Cross, and the United Way are just some of the programs that were available to evacuated residents. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to table the following two documents: Follow-up Letter for Oral Question 80-20(1): Supports for Electric Vehicles; and, Follow-up Letter to Oral Question 105-20(1) and Oral Question 112-20(1): Municipal Funding Gap. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So as I was saying earlier, the community emergency plan is just being finalized. They have worked with the community -- have done community engagements. They worked with the agencies in the community to upgrade it and update it. So as soon as that is completed, there is a plan to have a community public meeting. And, again, that would probably be within the next couple weeks or so because they're calling for that community emergency plan to be done here in short order. Thank you.
