(Translation) Mr. Chairman, I am going to talk in Inuktitut. Please put on your receivers if you want to understand what I am saying. Now that the motion has been dealt with, I wouls like to say to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, we hear the government is being told to go according to their policy when they are building capital projects. I asked the Minister of MACA yesterday, in regard to a recreation centre, how much planning they have done about the recreation centre for Sanikiluaq . He responded to me by saying that they have not done any planning for a recreation centre in Sanikiluaq. I am not aware what the previoys MLA for Baffin South was told. I know that the Minister stated to me that there have not been any plans for the recreation centre yet for Sanikiluaq. I would like the Minister of MACA to consider building a recreation centre in Sanikiluaq. I know that the government is in a deficit right now and under fiscal restraint, but I know that the recreation centres are one of the first buildings built in the communities.

The Minister of MACA stated to me yesterday that there are not plans at all for a recreation centre for Sanikiluaq. I am asking the Minister of MACA, as soon as possible when he can get it going, to plan for a recreation centre for Sanikiluaq.

Mr. Minister.

Mr. Chairman, I am going to be very direct with the honourable Member. There has just been a motion passed by this committee that standards and criteria established by the government should be respected and not varied. Sanikiluaq has a community gym. It was incorporated into the school. Sanikiluaq will have an arena in 1994-95. There is money to start that project in the capital estimates before us. They would be, I am told, under our standards, eligible for a curling rink once the arena is built, but I would not want the honourable Member to think that the community is entitled to any additional recreation facilities or a recreation complex once the gym and arena are completed. That is the recreation facilities that they are entitled to, apart from the curling rink. We are doing pretty well in Sanikiluaq according to the standards that are applied in every other community. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Pudlat.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If you had stated that yesterday when I asked that question -- I have received your answer now, thank you very much.
