Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question will be for the Minister of Intergovernmental and Aboriginal Affairs, and it deals with the environmental assessment of the Great Whale project. I cannot emphasize, Mr. Speaker, the importance of this project for the Hudson Bay and the Hudson Bay communities. I found it offensive to learn that on April 27, Michel Dorais, who chairs the federal environmental and assessment review organization, wrote to the Mayor of Sanikiluaq suggesting that we should approach the Makivik Corporation to act on behalf of Northwest Territories Inuit in funding or examining issues dealing with the offshore contamination and habitat destruction. Can the Minister of Intergovernmental and Aboriginal Affairs indicate whether this government supports the FEARO chairman's contention that we, in the Hudson Bay, should have to go begging to the Makivik Corporation for assistance?
