There's one more point I want to raise.
I wanted to ask this to Chief Martel. In my observation of the floods on the K'atl'odeeche reserve and in the town of Hay River, which are across the river from each other, I think the treatment of each was a little bit different.
I visited both communities after the flood. I was told on the reserve that they had a good team together, all local people, along with the chief as the lead, but there wasn't a lot of presence from anybody else. In fact, the police were all concerned about Hay River, but there was no one from the RCMP on the reserve. The chief just about got caught up in the flood. The ice closed in on the road behind her. Several vehicles got in really dangerous predicaments. If somebody hadn't had the sense to jump in a loader and knock some of these big ice pieces out of the way, there could have been a different ending to that situation.
What can you do or what have you been doing to try to ensure that the indigenous communities, the smaller communities, are treated in the same way as the larger regional centres, so that agencies such as the RCMP and your own emergency measures people are treating everybody fairly?
