Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, reflecting on last year's devastating wildfires in the Sahtu and the evacuation of the community of Fort Good Hope to neighboring communities, and the fish camp downstream from the community, bring back horrific, tragic trauma, memories. The tragic helicopter crash left a family impacted the certainty on returning home by families, children, elders continued to play the experience.

Mr. Speaker, the leaders I must commemorate for their determination in protecting their home communities, cabins, families, children, and the everyday well-being on shortage of supplies. Similarly, this experience has impacted the Northwest Territories as a whole directly and in many other ways indirectly.

Mr. Speaker, the NWT is resilient. We learn, and we move forward in developing our future. All said, Mr. Speaker, this raises the issues of preparedness and readiness. On those points later, Mr. Speaker, I will have questions to the appropriate Minister. Mahsi.
