Thank you, Mr. Chair. When did our priorities change with respect to providing emergency preparedness equipment in terms of blankets? It sounds like you are well prepared for an event in Yellowknife, but, if there was an event in my riding, and it happened early in the evening, and there are 12 hours of daylight, what would the plan say to do then? I know right now there are not enough blankets or emergency supplies or even back-up generator facilities to take care of the community.
I am not too sure how to make it a priority of our government if it is not right now. In terms of that, Mr. Chair, how do we start making the priority? How would we start creating a stockpile of supplies for an emergency? If, indeed, the Minister is saying that it is not their responsibility, then let's start some dialogue. Let's get this addressed because it is a gap that has been addressed. Often, you talk about a gap, but when an event does happen, when somebody is always saying I told you so, then I am hoping that I can mention it now that we don't have to be saying I told you so sometime later on down the line. How do we best address this gap, Mr. Chair? Thank you.
