Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, we don't have substantiation of amounts in time for the spring session. I don't know that it was ever anticipated that we would have had the kind of substantiation necessary to make it into the spring session. You might recall that last year with the floods, a special warrant was done and had it brought in for fall. So, you know, I certainly don't want residents to think that simply because of the timing of session that funding won't be available. The Disaster Assistance Policy was updated such that the cap is now at $240,000, and that doesn't change based on the timing of session. You know, there are ways in which the government can manage funds to ensure that when people have their assessments done and that the monies are ready to go out that we can ensure that that money will be available to them. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. And I thank the Minister for the answer because, you know, that's what I was looking for, is that when those assessments start to, you know, start to hit the desk of the pathfinder and the agreements are made, I'm hoping that, you know, the advances can go out and people can start working on repairing their homes or replacing them right away. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. No, and I appreciate the question as well. Again, I don't -- you know, I don't have the answer. I'm not going to necessarily suppose or say exactly for sure this'll be a special warrant situation or if there will be other tools used in this instance.
What I can state again is that, you know, that people should be using their insurance if they have it, going to the Disaster Assistance Relief Policy via MACA or by registering, and the policy is there, and we are going to adhere to it, and the money will be there for people who qualify. Thank you.
