The first thing to realize is that those are the ancestral lands of the Kashechewan people, so there is a connection to that land. Any choice about moving from that particular flood area would be at the request of Kashechewan First Nation, and it would not be a good partner thing to do to insist that they move. This approach, as Ms. Wilkinson has pointed out, allows for self-determination in the course of the community itself wrestling with those very things.
Communities that face repeated and ongoing flooding also love their community. They also love their region. It is a hugely emotional deliberation for communities to decide whether or not they've had enough of the flooding and that they want to pull up everything, all their connections to that area, and choose a new area. It's not easy politically for the elected leaders of the community, and it's certainly very difficult to find consensus. We work with communities on their determined approach. Should Kashechewan at some point decide that it wanted to relocate, this government would work with Kashechewan to understand what that could look like.
