Flooding continues to affect multiple communities across the province due to high water levels on the Red River and its tributaries. We have been working very closely through our Government Operations Centre and Indigenous Services Canada with the Manitoba Emergency Coordination Centre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7133091\" data-originallang=\"en\">I have reached out a number of times to my counterpart, Minister Piwniuk. We are in regular contact, and we have offered every assistance that Manitoba may require. At this point, Manitoba advises that the flood response remains within provincial capabilities, but we have also engaged with the Red Cross to assist with evacuations, and we are working with the municipalities, 26 of which have declared states of local emergency.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7133092\" data-originallang=\"en\">We will continue to be there for the people of Manitoba.</p>",

Les inondations continuent de toucher de multiples collectivit\u00e9s partout dans la province en raison des niveaux d'eau \u00e9lev\u00e9s de la rivi\u00e8re Rouge et de ses affluents. Nous avons travaill\u00e9 de tr\u00e8s pr\u00e8s avec le centre de coordination des mesures d'urgence du Manitoba par la voie du Centre des op\u00e9rations du gouvernement et de Services aux Autochtones Canada. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7133091\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai communiqu\u00e9 \u00e0 quelques reprises avec mon homologue, le ministre Piwniuk. Nous sommes r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement en contact, et nous avons offert au Manitoba toute l'aide dont elle a besoin. \u00c0 l'heure actuelle, le Manitoba nous informe que l'intervention li\u00e9e aux inondations demeure dans les capacit\u00e9s de la province, mais nous avons \u00e9galement contact\u00e9 la Croix-Rouge pour contribuer aux \u00e9vacuations et nous travaillons avec les municipalit\u00e9s, dont 26 ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 d\u00e9clar\u00e9 l'\u00e9tat d'urgence.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7133092\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous continuerons d'aider les Manitobains.</p>"
