Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I'm not going to repeat a lot of what I've said during Committee of the Whole. I agree wholeheartedly with what my colleague from Frame Lake has said here today. My biggest concern right now as well is with residents who are currently evacuated, with businesses that are currently struggling while they're being evacuated, and with the businesses that are back home that are doing the work on the frontline right now. It's not lost on me that a lot of my constituents in Yellowknife are essential workers who are currently working on the frontline in Yellowknife, and this supplemental appropriation just cannot be the -- the be all end all cannot be it. To me, this isn't about making sure that the 20th Assembly is well set. This is about making sure that we are supporting the prosperity of the territory and that we are supporting residents because we simply cannot afford to not support them right now with where they're at in this emergency. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
