(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have some concern regarding this motion. I have seen so many other motions being put forward, and we have supported it in some areas. But for those of us who are from the Baffin Region, the Eastern Arctic, just to have the capital item in the planning stages -- I would like to support his motion, but I would like it to be treated the same as I would be treated if I made that kind of motion. If they advance a capital project in a community, the regional government will have to take something else that is in the capital budget and move it to a later construction date. In the Fort Smith Region, whatever is needed will have to be deferred so Mr. Gargan's motion can go ahead. If that is the way it is going to be treated, then I will support the motion. As long as my region will still be considered for construction of any project, as long as the Fort Smith Region's capital projects are going to be deferred, I will support it; but not as long as the Eastern Arctic capital projects are not going to be deferred.
