Some Gatineau residents say they're tired of living through flood after flood and want to know more about how they can be compensated if they leave their homes. After two floods in three years, David said she doesn't believe she'll be able to sell her home again and plans to walk away. The province can also compensate residents an extra $50,000 for the land around their homes, said Mathieu Lévesque, the MNA for Chapleau. She's lived in Gatineau since 1991 but doesn't know where she'll go if she gets a buyout, but knows she can't stay where she lives now. At my age I cannot start with a debt of $100,000 or $60,000 and that's how much damage I have."
