Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today my questions are for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. As I stated in my Member's statement, Mr. Speaker, a number of my constituents were involved in flooding which caused a lot of damage to properties and personal items. This flooding did not wipe out everyone in West Channel, Mr. Speaker, but it did have a degree of hardship for all residents.

Mr. Speaker, even though not all residents suffered financial loss, this doesn't lessen the level of damage suffered by a few. Could the Minister tell this House how many claims were received by his department with regard to the flood in West Channel? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
