Mahsi, Mr. Chair. Just expanding from disaster compensation that Mr. Villeneuve was asking, the $15,000 has been allocated to cover that, let's say if there is a loss due to fire. Last year, it was $15,000. Was that expended to the Northwest Territories? Is $15,000 enough for the whole Northwest Territories? That is one cabin. Mr. Chair, I just came back from February 7th tour of Gameti. An individual approached me and said my cabin burned down this summer with all my tools in it. He said he wasn't sure how to go about it. I said I would certainly find out. I am just looking at that. Just one cabin with traps, rifles and whatnot, $15,000 may exceed that one cabin per region. I am just wondering if this is a reasonable amount of figure that has been thrown at us here, because what Mr. Villeneuve is talking about is another story where water bombers destroy the cabins and now there have been some fires in Whati and Gameti this past summer. I am sure there were cabins...I have already heard one. I am sure there is probably another one in Whati that I have been getting calls on. So this is just a question to the Minister about that particular area of $15,000. Is that a reasonable amount compared to last year and other jurisdictions? Mahsi.
