(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. Today I would like to follow up on the Minister's statement. There is a problem in Sanikiluaq with regard to the supply service through Great Whale River, which is the only source of supply service we have in Sanikiluaq for store supplies.

I heard from Sanikiluaq that the plane that is coming from Great Whale River, if there are no passengers will not carry supplies to Sanikiluaq from Great Whale River. Only if there are passengers will the airplane arrive. They just pass by Sanikiluaq, even if there is freight on the airplane destined for Sanikiluaq.

For that reason, Madam Speaker, I was told earlier that Makivik Corporation should meet with the Sanikiluaq hamlet, as well as the board of directors of Makivik who operate First Air. Maybe they can make better arrangements for the freight plane because mail and also supplies are always late in arriving. Thank you.
