(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I too have a statement concerning Baffin South, my own constituency. This issue will probably be raised a number of times. There are some people who live in outpost camps. Economically, this is one of the most difficult places to live in prosperity. We are all aware that the airlines have to make a profit, but I am talking about children. As soon as they reach the age of two, their airfare becomes almost equivalent to the airfares of adults. In my community, we fly by Twin Air only, between 30 and 45 minutes to Iqaluit. A fare for an adult ranges between $100 to $120. Because of that, Mr. Speaker, I have had a concern. For children two and over, their airfares become quite close to adult rates. We should see if we can get the government to consider looking at this problem, especially in view of the lack of jobs and the economy being so poor in my region. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
