(Translation) Mr. Speaker, I stand today because of a concern from my constituency. I stand because of a concern of the people of Sanikiluaq. They previously had an interpreter who used to be with Social Services, and the person she worked with speaks only English. The people are interested in rehiring the interpreter within that department since the person who is the social worker cannot speak Inuktitut, and a lot of the constituents in that riding cannot speak English. They are interested in rehiring the interpreter, who is an Inuk, and I stand on that point today. It is causing a great concern because there are many unilingual people in that riding. That is my statement under Members' statements. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
