Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I was listening to CBC Radio this morning, and Minister McKay was on the radio talking about the fire season from 2023. And he also spoke about the uninsured homes in that community and they're not able to help them.

So, Mr. Speaker, I'm deeply concerned that the hamlet of Fort Resolution has no fire plan for the 2024 fire season, and we may find ourselves in the same situation going into the 2024 fire season.

Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of MACA Jay MacDonald. Mr. Speaker, I'm not sure what are the issues in the last year to put in place a 2024 fire plan. Will the Minister commit to put in place a 2024 emergency fire plan as soon as possible for the community of Fort Resolution? Thank you.
