Thank you, Madam Speaker. Food mail subsidy program is a program of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. The Department of Indian Affairs has made an annual contribution of $15 million to Canada Post Corporation, since 1991. The reason for this program is to bring down the rates of mailing food to isolated northern communities. That program has been successful in reducing the costs of shipping nutritious and perishable foods, such as dairy products and vegetables, to a number of remote communities in the Northwest Territories that are only serviced by air. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
