Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to an oral question asked by Mr. Ng on November 14, 1994, regarding the designation of Bathurst Inlet and Umingmaktok. As previously indicated to the Member, Bathurst Inlet and Umingmaktok are not incorporated. Further, neither are formally recognized by the government as communities. The Department of Municipal and Community Affairs does not provide any municipal services to Bathurst Inlet or Umingmaktok.
In response to the Member's question, it would be the responsibility of individual departments to address specific needs identified by the residents of Bathurst and Umingmaktok. Thank you.
