Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too -- I lived in Norman Wells a few years ago, and people probably know that I lived in Norman Wells, and even back then the cost of living was high. So I cannot imagine what it's like today. And to know that right now that Norman Wells has run out of fuel, that's a crisis, that's an emergency situation. And there's no time to play around with people's lives today right now, to try to figure out -- wiggle around and figure out whether or not this company's doing that, that company's doing this. There's no time to figure that out. If this was your family, what would you do? That's what I'm -- that's what I'm thinking about. So $6,000 a month for fuel, no water, no barge. Norman Wells is a predominantly independent community. They don't -- people there are probably the most independent people. To ask for help, takes them a lot to ask for help. People know that, know that about Norman Wells. So if they could fix it, they would. They're in a crisis now. This has been going on for six months, no barge, no -- it's been unheard of. So right now, if you had no food, if you have no gas, if you have no oil, you're going to starve and you're going to freeze. It's cold outside. Not everybody's using propane or pellet stoves. And I'm not going to ask people to go out and cut wood in this day and age. We have to ask fuel -- it could be done, it could be delivered. So I'm not going to ask people to go out and cut wood today. It's cold out, it's getting cold out. So we have to have a discussion. We have to have this discussion. It's an emergency for the people in Norman Wells. Let's look at setting some clear limits, seeing what we can do, how we can do it, and when we could do it, not -- it's got to happen soon. That's -- this is the reality of this crisis situation right now. That's what I'm seeing.

I will support Norman Wells. I'll support the people of Norman Wells. They're asking for some help. I'll do that. They're -- it's just like us, I would do that for us. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
