(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm understanding what is being said with the amendments to the policy concerning the current rates. I understand what is being done as amendments to the policy, but the information sheets that were provided indicated which changes would occur in relation to the commercial areas, such as the co-ops, particularly those co-ops that have hotels. They are combined as both a general store and as a place to stay away from home. More and more hotels are being implemented in the communities, as owned by the co-ops. For instance, we have a number of them in the Baffin region.

The commercial sector have their own houses as well. Many of these businesses are not making a profit. In many instances they are just barely breaking even. This doesn't apply to every business, but this will add further to the bills that they have to pay.

I have a question. You say there will be more uniformity in the payment of the rates in the territories. My question is, I'd like more information. How different are they right now as they stand, first of all? That would be my question to you. Thank you.
