Mr. Chair, certainly the Minister is correct. It’s very difficult to budget for something that you’re not going to expect. I do recognize that and realize that, however, it’s good to know that something that may happen is part of our contingency budget on any type of infrastructure. I think we also experienced this in Fort Good Hope when we had the floods there, not knowing the extent of the floods and they had to work through different departments, and even the federal government, in terms of emergency on floods in the community.
Just again, I know that sometimes, through the paperwork, through the policies and regulations, that our expectations and sometimes the departments’ expectations are different. So we
have clearer lines of communication. I think this was noted very clearly in the Fort Good Hope flood. There were a lot of good people went the extra mile to make sure that things were taken care of by the departments in this government here, in the community of Fort Good Hope. However, there are sometimes situations where they require more discussions, in terms of funding, what the community is responsible for and how the government can help with some of the reimbursements on some of the bills that they accumulate over the months and weeks. I think that’s what I’m getting at. I hope I’m making myself clear -- I hope I’m doing that -- to show that there is strong communication lines in terms of funding that’s going to be there for the communities when they want it in some of these unforeseen circumstances that may happen in their communities.
