Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I hear the empathy from the Minister and I also hear the acknowledgement from Ministers and Members on kind of the cumulative impacts of having to evacuate, as the MLA for Hay River North said earlier during their Member's statement, two, three, four consecutive years here, going on with disasters from -- really, from the impacts of climate change and so we're just going to continue to see more of them. But we also heard the MLA for Hay River North today during their Member's statement speaks about how the fire is only six kilometres away right now, and so people may very well return home for a few days and be evacuated again. So my next question, and my last question for the Minister, is if that is the case and they are re-evacuated to Yellowknife, will they, again, be eligible for that subsidy if the evacuation order lasts another seven plus days? Thank you.
