Thank you.
I actually toured Grand Forks this summer. They had a significant flood event a number of years ago. They did receive some DMAF funding, but they actually had to buy out an entire neighbourhood because there was no way, even with $100 million extra, that they could protect that neighbourhood. People were saying that it was a big issue, because once this flood happened, the value of those properties dropped by two-thirds. This is people's livelihoods, so they actually had to come forward and agree to pay the people out something close to the pre-flood value of their property. These were mostly low-income and fixed-income people.
Is there a policy that says that maybe we should be moving people out of their communities? Is that the most cost-effective way?
