Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That is quite the level of detail that I don't have with me right now. And, you know, I just want to reassure that the department is trying to work very strategically with the affected communities.
And looking at -- just going back to the question of if the communities can hire their own assessor, if MACA or the government would reimburse, I don't have that level of detail. We haven't submitted a disaster application yet, and our conversation with the federal government is ongoing.
But then also looking at, you know, whether we would be able to offer this type of assistance, I don't have that level of information right now. MACA and Housing are currently in the affected communities. They should be returning today back into Yellowknife. And then we are going to be travelling into Fort Good Hope as well too. Making sure that when we submit this application, if there is further support in the smaller communities, how can we work effectively together in making sure that we do have the submission.
I know this is a long answer. But the other thing is that we're looking at positions to uphold this responsibility in making sure that, you know, we work very effectively at the ground level.
Receiving the information, how do we distribute the money, how do we reimburse the individuals, I don't have that level of detail, but those are questions that we are working on as well within the department. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
