Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday it was said in the House that we were telling people to get out on the planes, get the planes going out there. This is the communication that we sent out: If it's safe for residents who have vehicles and are available to drive, to start evacuating now. If there are any smoke conditions, residents evacuating by the highway will be escorted from Yellowknife through active fire zone. Air evacuation is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m., Thursday, August 7th, 2023. Only residents who do not have the option to leave the area by road are asked to register for evacuation fly outs.

As I said yesterday under section -- or has been saying under section 4 of the DFA with the federal public safety eligibility, section 4.11 is a reference to provincial and territorial eligible costs that the province or territorial province provides temporary relocation shelters, etcetera, to residents. The GNWT did provide evacuation support, including transportation, accommodation, and food. So the GNWT will be making a claim for that cost as in terms for the DFA. The Member -- I understand what the Member has said. I've heard her numerous times. We've had numerous conversations. And, unfortunately, no, we will not be reimbursing people that decided to take the flights out. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
