Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to speak a little bit in regards to being in support of this motion. You know, that we know that there's going to be continued efforts, there's going to be continued costs fighting this fire. We receive updates daily on the activity and it doesn't seem to be getting any better in some of our southern communities and for that, I'm fully support of this. But I too want to just raise a couple of issues that is not in this bill and that I hope that the Minister and their staff will hear, is that when the evacuation did happen, Indigenous governments did step up. People have connections to the North of the territory, people flew because there were flights north, and Inuvik is not an evacuation centre but many people flew here with the monies that they received from their Indigenous groups because they could afford to instead of being a burden on the south or going south where they're not comfortable, and so I just wanted to make sure that finance is hearing that because a $400 fee does not cover the cost for them to get back. It costs more than what their Indigenous groups to get them on that flight to get here, and they have their own accommodations and they're -- you know, and things like that because they're not an evacuation centre.
So I just wanted to make sure that those people are also being looked at that did do what the government asked, to make -- to get out if they can, you know, and they did go to other parts of the territory, and they did come home to the North. So I just wanted to make sure that that is being out there and that it's being -- going to be looked at as well. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
