Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I feel that this government has determined to work more like a business than a government. Mr. Speaker, business exists to make a profit, as many of you are aware. Government exists to serve their people, as I am sure you all agree. I am sure that my constituents want the government to behave like a government that takes quick, efficient action, like any good business to assist its citizens when they are faced with an emergency.
Most of us come from small communities and have personal knowledge of emergencies and accidents. Anyone helps quickly and without thought of getting the money up front. Can the Premier please explain what concrete financial assistance this government is prepared to offered the people of Grise Fiord to offset the increases in prices caused by this emergency? I know that the insurance is already covered, but the offset is over $80,000. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
