(Translation) Thank you, Members and Mr. Speaker. Some of the committees I represent could not get a representation in the assessment panels. We have not been allowed sufficient time to do technical submissions. More funding is required to allow NWT committees to prepare presentations to the environment assessment committees. It is not just Sanikiluaq people; It is also the people from the other areas of Nunavut that have to be involved in the assessment review panels.
There could be diseases that come from contaminants in this area, and also there are going to be a lot of social problems that are going to be coming to the North if this project goes ahead. There are many things that could be damaged permanently, and I would like the Members of the Assembly to be aware of them. Thank you for letting me finish my Member's statement.
