Mr. Speaker, we are fully aware of the difficulties that are occurring in the town of Iqaluit and the volume of alcohol that is consumed there. I would like to see them consume less, but that's everybody's individual right. The opening of premises is based upon plebiscite and community support or lack of support. So, I really have no direct control over that. However, we are currently examining the possibility and looking for resources to allocate a full-time liquor inspector for Iqaluit and, ultimately, Baffin Island given the degree, if you want, of problems that are associated with alcohol in that particular area. Thank you.
