POND INLET, Nunavut — Northern premiers are calling for a national emergency response system to deal with natural disasters they fear will become more frequent.
Northwest Territories Premier R.J. Simpson says Canada is one of the few G7 countries without such an agency. "It's time we started looking into ," said Simpson, who was forced to leave the town of Hay River, N.W.T., last summer. "We are a small jurisdiction. These massive natural disasters are growing to the point where they're going to be beyond our capacity," said Simpson.
