(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would first of all like to thank the people in the communities. I experienced something I have not experienced before and I don't think I will experience again because I'm getting too old. I went from Yellowknife, by boat, up to the Arctic waters to Resolute Bay and I thank all the communities that I stopped to talk to. There were not very many people in some communities because they were out camping for the summer. The experience I had this summer was very exciting. I saw a lot of things I hadn't seen before. Previously, I had only seen the territories from planes, but I am happy to say that I have experienced NWT communities by water.
I thank all the people in the communities that I met. I was the only one in Spence Bay going up to Resolute Bay with my children. I'm saying that people should experience what I did this summer, travelling to Resolute Bay. Sometimes, it is very dangerous and you worry about yourself. We started on July 16 and we completed our journey on August 16 in Resolute Bay. I was thinking if I was a lot younger, I would have had a lot more time and if I was much younger, I would do it again. I would like to thank all the communities I visited on my trip for their assistance.
