Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Like I said earlier, our sympathy does go out to the community. I do believe that the Yukon government has not requested any assistance from the Northwest Territories government that I know of. They do have the jurisdiction of Old Crow in the Yukon and they must have emergency measures. As a matter of fact, when I met with the Minister of Transportation from the Yukon government today, he did inform me that as we spoke there was a team going into the Old Crow from the Yukon government to assess the situation, meet with the community leadership, so that the Yukon government could respond in a very effective, timely manner to the disaster in Old Crow, Yukon. The Yukon government does seem to have the situation handled and once again we do pass on our condolences to that community. We wish Fort McPherson all the best in raising donations to assist the Gwich'in in the Yukon. I am sure people watching the Legislative Assembly, if Mr. Krutko could just let those people know where they can send things to assist, I am sure they will, as northerners usually do. Thank you.
