Mr. Speaker, on the ground at home last week, I saw what we know about eastern Canadians: We come together during difficult times. I want everyone to know that the federal government has come together in these difficult times to help everyone get through this. On top of the disaster financial assistance arrangements, which are administered through the province and cover up to 90% of the cost of this terrible storm damage, we announced, this week, the hurricane Fiona recovery fund. It is an additional $300 million to help people and businesses whose situations may fall through the cracks under the DFAA. The federal government will be there with every person, every community and every business as we build back stronger and get back on our feet in Atlantic Canada.
