I was just saying we're going to direct the emergency organization to do these plans on behalf of. It'll simply give communities the option. I think we need to be careful not to take autonomy away from our communities when we're passing motions such as this so that we ensure that our communities still hold their decision-making authority. So in the words -- I'll just quote the Mayor Alty of city of Yellowknife on this one.
As a policy principle, I don't want to regress into the time when the GNWT came in and did everything for communities and we didn't have a say. We are an order of government with responsibilities, and we are able to do them when we are provided the adequate resources.
So I think this motion is -- the motion as a whole as amended, if the amendment passes, is about getting communities those resources and so insofar as that is the intent, then I do support it. And so, yeah, the amendment is just to remove the wording and put the decision-making back in the communities' hands as to whether they would like support drafting the emergency plans as opposed to saying it has to be done.
Thank you -- and, you know, I would appreciate the support of my colleagues in moving this amendment forward. Thank you.
