Thank you, Madam Chair. And, again, you know, I always ask myself how did we find ourselves in this situation? How did we get here? You know, communication is a big part of, you know, trying to get this information out to the public. And what went down here it was -- it was really scary for a lot of people, especially in my riding Tu Nedhe where I was in Fort Resolution. On one hand, we had fires happening in the south of us in Fort Smith and then you got the one in Hay River. Depending on which way the wind is blowing, Fort Resolution, we're caught in there. The roads get shut off, but we're okay. The thing is that the air quality in that community after for -- oh jeez, I would say about six weeks, it was poor. We had birds dying. And yet, you know, I was a little concerned about how the GNWT could have been more proactive as to dealing with the air quality in that community. However, you know, when I was there for that time, you know, I listened to all the -- you know, the announcements that were made on the radio and the briefings they got, etcetera, you know.
I would say that, you know, we should have had a better handle on the protocol as to who is speaking and that kind of thing because right now we just have one individual constantly on there but then, you know, that person's just an officer of government but yet, you know, the executive, you know, we should have been really there in terms of having somebody there, you know, speaking for this government. You know, this came up in my riding and -- to see that didn't happen. So we definitely have to improve as to how we communicate to the residents of the Northwest Territories, especially in a fire like this. Thank you.
