Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to an oral question asked by Mr. Pudlat on February 22, 1993, concerning a vessel for Sanikiluaq. Mr. Speaker, I understand that the HTA in Sanikiluaq has given their damaged vessel to Mr. Joanasie Arragutainaq to salvage for materials. Mr. Arragutainaq will be using the salvaged materials to repair another longliner in the community.
I am also advised, Mr. Speaker, that the economic development officer under contract to the community of Sanikiluaq has been working with the HTA and Mr. Arragutainaq on this matter. We have been informed that an application to the economic development agreement will be submitted in April for funds to bring in a marine mechanic to assess what repairs are required on the longliner. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
