Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yes, if you're on emergency leave, if you're subject to an evacuation order, you can remain on emergency leave and it won't draw down, again as I said, on your banks.
Mr. Speaker, I want to acknowledge there are public servants who are based within the community that is under evacuation who are working, who are working remotely, and I just want to acknowledge that we -- I'm conscious of the fact that they are doing so under great strain when things are more than disruptive in their lives. So wanting to also extend that while these emergency leave banks are available, I certainly want to extend my appreciation for those that have been called to continue to work under circumstances that are very difficult, whether remote or otherwise. But certainly to be very clear, again, there are different types of leave. And even when the evacuation order is lifted, it may well be that some people cannot yet return to their homes or to their communities. There are those who can't return right now maybe under health circumstances, back to Hay River in the circumstance. And, again, they can be looking at what types of leave are appropriate, whether emergency leave is still appropriate or whether special leave or an annual leave is appropriate. But, again, at that point, Mr. Speaker, once the evacuation order is fully lifted, that may change but right now, if they can't go back, they should be speaking to a supervisor to ensure that they're being appropriately accommodated. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
