Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question I would like to direct to the Minister of Safety and Public Services. It deals with the beach people. I had the opportunity of being in Iqaluit in another life, as a Minister of Social Services, and I went to the home we are speaking of. Mr. Speaker, I do not exaggerate when I say "appalling conditions." I believe I was quoted as saying people should not have to live like that, and I meant it, Mr. Speaker. Although I have seen worse in my younger days, the conditions in there are not very safe. I would like to ask the Minister if he would direct his fire inspectors in that community to look at that unit to ensure the heating system which is temporarily being used to cook and heat the unit, is not going to result in a fire. They should check for the safety and, perhaps, give some instructions as to how to improve the safety of it. Would the Minister consider this? Thank you.
