Maybe I'll ask the same question to Mayor Coyne, who I know was on the ground when the flood was happening.
I know that certainly in the Abbotsford area, Sumas Prairie, Chilliwack and Hope, when the emergency was upon us, quite frankly there was no time for heavy-handed government regulations. People did what was necessary to protect the community. We saw road builders and pipeline builders and everyone leap into action to do what it took. It was just accepted that this was the way it was, but once the bureaucracy got back up on its feet, it started to put in those roadblocks to doing what was necessary to protect those communities.
Mayor Coyne, have you seen that situation where there was an inability when the repairs were taking place to build up to the new flood levels, or build up to the new regulations, because the senior levels of government made it clear that they wouldn't fund anything more than building it back to the way it was?
