Mr. Speaker, the Member has the better of me with regard to Rankin Inlet. I do not have any knowledge of a potential mine opening there.
The rationale for decentralization to Rankin Inlet is very simple, Mr. Speaker. The Keewatin is a region. It is tightly knit. It seems to have its act together. The centre of activity is Rankin Inlet. It has got a fairly large runway. It has good transportation links across the country and it is the hub for that particular area for transportation. As I have described these regional centres before, they are two small to be big and too big to be small and it was felt that making Rankin Inlet a little larger, making it a better place to transport into and transport out of, would strengthen the whole region. In the end, Mr. Speaker, the benefits that accrue to Rankin Inlet will accrue to all of the Keewatin Region. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
