Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Those are assumed, but I don't think they have been tested really. I think probably MACA and the officials assume that all the municipalities have those plans and I think people assume that. But in the event of everything shutting down, where, I don't know if everybody is supposed to drive to the fire hall and see if that's the emergency measure area, or would they all drive down to the city hall, look in the phone book? Where would they look?
In many parts of the world...I mean, I grew up in a place -- post-war Korea -- we all had a drill without warning, where all the kids had to go under the desk or something. But we don't live in that sort of situation. But we live in such a sophisticated technological world where we think that if we just turn on the TV, turn on the radio, get on our cell phone and call somewhere there will be an answer. I think the government has an obligation to totally step out of that, and assign somebody to test it. Say if a real emergency happened, would people know who to call and where to go? I don't think that the government could assume that every municipality has that, because even in the city of Yellowknife it was not easy to figure out who to call and where. What if you don't have a phone? I don't want to play a dooms day scenario, but I think we have to be prepared for something happening where everything shuts down and we have to go down to the basics. Also, who would be the emergency supplier if something happened where everybody has to go somewhere? Do we have an inventory of how much water is there in the city? What shelters and blankets and I don't know. I'd like to ask the Minister to make a commitment to come back with a more detailed plan about how this is supposed to play out.
I think the communication and publicity campaign has to be a lot more intense. We don't have a 911 line working in the North, but I think kids or families should be able to just roll off their tongue about when something happens we go here. This is the number we call. I don't know if those emergency numbers that we have implemented, like 669-1111, 873-1111, like all the 1111s with the first three prefixes, I don't know if they would work if there were no phone system. I don't know if anybody has tested that, you know? So I would like the Minister to come back with more evidence that suggests that we do have a plan and it's going to work and it's been tested in all circumstances. Thank you.
