Mr. Speaker, the issue of compensation will have to be looked at following an evaluation of what damages have occurred. At this point in time, there are people in the communities who have gotten jobs to assist in the clean-up. We will try to make sure that any economic initiatives in the clean-up go to local residents as much as possible. Until we know the extent of damages, we can't talk about compensation.
