Mr. Speaker, I am not sure what that means, "notch up the readiness" of the communities. Each community in the Northwest Territories has an emergency plan. Each community in the Northwest Territories reviews the plans; it's required we review the plans on an ongoing basis. Our department provides support to the communities to ensure that the plan is complete, to ensure the details that are required in the plan are worked out. We provide the backup staff; we provide the backup to the communities in a case of emergency. If there are other concerns such as communication if the power goes out, the phones still work because the land lines certainly work. The concern would have to be a lot more clearer for me to work towards ramping up or ensuring that there's more. I am not sure what else can be done that the Member is raising as a concern. Thank you.
