Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am very pleased to see the department is having a pamphlet prepared. Hopefully, it will be program specific to each of the communities, even in smaller communities, when the power goes off. I remember when I lived in Clyde River, the power went off in half the town. We did not know where to go. There was a blizzard situation. The power was off and the airport runway lights could not come on and planes could not land. We had to get all the vehicles up at the airport to light the runway. There all different types of circumstances. Sometimes when the power goes off, the local radio cannot come on and you cannot get that information out. All I was trying to say is, if there is an emergency or people have to go to some place and congregate in some area, those centres where people could go, should be identified; for example, if it is a school, if it is an EMO office, if it is a government office building, and so on. Hopefully, when the pamphlet is done, maybe contact numbers for EMO could be on for each region so you could phone your EMO office and say, where do I go or can I get someone to come and get us? In a lot of communities, the larger communities and sometimes the smaller communities, you have people moving in and out who might not be aware of the things other people who have been there for a longer period of time know. I am wondering if the Minister and her department could actually look at making that type of information available on that pamphlet and what, in actuality, is going to be in this pamphlet that will be produced? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
