(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would also like to congratulate you on becoming our Speaker. I am sure you will do a good job. I would also like to thank the past Speaker for doing a great job.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to apologize to my constituents, who I was unable to go to Cape Dorset and Sanikiluaq to visit. I was unable to reach those communities before I got here and I am sorry for that. With this last term in 1995, I thought it might be important for me to go to those communities. So I am truly sorry for not reaching the communities before this session started.
It is not to say that I am doing a bad job. I try my best to do what is expected of me. I always tell them that if they have any concerns, there is a 1-800 number to reach me at. They do know how to reach me. I have informed them that I am truly open for any concerns. With this being the last term, I am truly sorry for not making it into those communities before I came here. This is the reason I wanted to stand up to make my Member's statement. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
