(Translation) Thank you for responding to my question. This is not really a question, but more a comment to MACA. We are all aware we are going through fiscal restraint and it is getting harder to get funding. The hamlet councils in small communities are going through financial difficulties. This was the case with my constituents in 1993 and the beginning of 1994. I believe all of the smaller communities are going through that problem. But one of my constituents has been keeping me up to date with what is going on with the communities I represent. We are all aware that we are going through fiscal restraint as are employees in hamlet councils, especially those who started from 1983 on. Even though they are not losing their jobs, I think you are aware there are problems. Is it because there have been cuts from the federal government? What is the reason for the cutbacks, especially in Baffin South? We would appreciate more information as to why this is. In the 1993-94 fiscal year, the funding they get is less and less. When that is the case, the programs and services provided to the community... Where does this originate from? Is it from the federal government? I would like a response to this. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
