(Translation) This is just a short statement. Mr. Chairman, we all know how we started off and the fact that the federal government is no longer responsible for housing in the Northwest Territories. When we started getting housing in the Northwest Territories, it was very easy to pay for. At one time, I remember I paid $2 a month for rent. We also were able to get a barrel of fuel a month. They would deliver it to the side of our house and we weren't even asked to pay for it. I know it is quite different now, as opposed to that time. But I am telling the story, although a lot of people know about it.
Utilities cost quite a lot now and it is quite difficult for people who own and rent houses to pay for their utilities. That's the reality in our constituency. We have to represent our constituents and their concerns of today are different from yesterday. It seems the federal government was trying to encourage the Inuit to move into communities. That's how they lured them to larger centres: by having houses which didn't cost enough. In this day and age, we have to pay for everything. It is getting more and more difficult to live in the communities for that reason. That is all I wanted to comment on. This is not exactly a question, so there is no real need for an answer. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
