(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have comments on one community. I produced a letter about a week ago regarding the community freezer in Arctic Bay. I think today they don't have a community freezer because it has broken down. It was damaged by winds. If we were to fix the power, I think it would cost about $68,000, but this is a very old freezer and the motor is very old. I think it is over 30 years old. Also, there isn't enough room, especially in the summer. They have to store char, caribou meat and muktuk and other meats that have to be frozen, especially during the summer.

It doesn't seem to be so bothersome right now, because we can freeze our own meat, but if the climate was different, a lot of country food would be damaged. The population is growing and it seems to me they should get a bigger freezer. Since it is very old, we know for sure it is going to break down often, even if they repair it. It is also too small. This is a grave concern today. In this Renewable Resource budget activity, there isn't anything written down to replace the very old community freezer. The freezer is very useful and I think most communities have them. It is very convenient to have such freezers in the communities.

If they would use their finances more effectively, they could use one of the mines' ships to take a lot of goods into communities. There are a lot of hunters in that community and it is by the means of subsistence harvesting that they try to make money. There is limited employment in Arctic Bay. This is the means by which they try to make money, by harvesting caribou, char and beluga whales.

Therefore, Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a motion.
