We are a small government but big in the fact that we have a fairly large budget. We have a small constituency overall in the Northwest Territories. I would certainly support something like that. Not something to be dipped into on a regular basis, but when there is an agreed emergency I think that we should have something like that. It’s very difficult for us, as MLAs, to get back to our constituents and say, sorry, there’s nothing that this government can do for you. We all know these people. Often they’re people who have grown up here in the North and are well known to all us.
I’d just like to ask the Minister if he will work with Regular Members, like myself, to come up with something so that these kinds of disasters can be avoided, which are going to end up costing this government a whole lot more money when these people fail to be able to carry on. Thank you.
