Thank you. Item 5, oral questions. Just before we go on to written questions, I want to advise Members that I have been very lenient with the amount of time spent for preambles, and questions that have been posed during the past two days. However, in our new session in February, I will ask Members to be conscientious of the length of time used for preambles in questions posed. And, I would like to ask Ministers to be conscientious of the time spent in answering questions. Thank you.

Item 6, written questions. The honourable Member for Iqaluit, Mr. Patterson.
