(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Listening to the comments that are being made, I cannot just sit back and say nothing. In the communities with social problems, the social workers have a lot of work to do. We see them in every community. I think of all the programs that the government offers, this is one of the hardest issues to deal with because they affect the minds of human beings. What the social workers say is everyone is aware in the communities. I do not agree that it will only affect certain communities. For example, in the Baffin Region, Keewatin Region or Kitikmeot Region, I am sure there will be some communities that will not be involved because all the communities are different. Problems will be encountered in the communities. I am sure a lot of the communities that would have comments to make on how they used to handle problems, and I am sure that will be brought up in some communities -- how the Inuit used to handle problems. The Inuit had their own way of solving different social problems, and I am sure those will have to be looked at again.
