Mr. Speaker, my apology. I was referring to British Columbia, but the Peace River as I know also covers part of the province of Alberta as well.
We did not move unilaterally in the ice storm situation, or in the Saguenay or the Red River situations. They were subsidiary agreements that were put in place in co-operation with those provincial governments when they called upon the DFAA agreement between the federal government and the provinces.
If the province of Alberta wants to come forward and ask to work through that agreement, we will be more than glad to sit down and talk to it about it.
