Yes, it's me.
Thanks, Chief. That was a very interesting and good response.
I'm going to concentrate on Lucas.
Lucas, welcome to INAN. I'm glad you're here. The committee won't know it, but the western part of my riding is all Treaty No. 3.
During the flooding this spring, I was up there. I certainly saw in Seine River that there were cars floating in the river. The community centre was basically an island surrounded by sandbags, and water around that. In Couchiching, which is close to Fort Frances, there were a lot of houses flooded as well.
Lucas, maybe you could tell me more about the extent of the damage in the spring, and in which communities. As I recall, the communities further upriver, like Lac La Croix, had the flooding first, and then as the water levels rose downstream, there was flooding in other areas.
Could you maybe tell us more about the damage this spring?
