Mr. Speaker, this is not going to be a Member's statement, it is going to be an announcement only.
(Translation) Mr. Speaker, I have been requested by our colleague Mr. Kenoayoak Pudlat, MLA for Baffin South, to inform the House that he would not be here today because two of his relatives passed away this past weekend in his constituency. As well, his brother-in-law is in critical condition. For that reason he will not be in the House today. Thank you.
