I apologize if the Member thought I wasn't listening. I was trying to ask my colleagues when Tuk ever flooded. I think maybe we were referring to Fort McPherson when we had some concern over flooding last spring. Mr. Speaker, again I want to assure the Member that we do talk to the communities. We talk to them on a regular basis. Each community has an emergency plan. If she's asking to go back and make sure every community has an emergency plan, I guess we could do that, but we do that already. We have emergency plans in each community and it outlines who is the lead contact, who would be in charge of the community, who declares emergency measures in the community, where people would go in case of an emergency, and which vehicles would be used and who would be contacted to evacuate the community. I am not sure what else we can do. She's asking me to go back and check. Okay, we'll go back and check, but we do that anyway as part of our routine operations, but I am not sure where we go with this. Each community has their plan; each community follows their plans. In the case of Tuktoyaktuk where we had a storm, in the case of Fort McPherson where we had concern over fire, and in Tulita over smoke, and Fort McPherson where we had a flood, the plans were followed and they worked well. I am not sure where else we go with it. Thank you.
