(Translation) Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. What I was saying is that Canada is a very big country and there are a lot of people. People who live up here are very different; the Inuit

and Dene are people who live on the land. I feel that I made a fairly good presentation covering this. In the cities, there are a lot of crimes involving guns and this is why, I feel, they want to change the gun laws.

In this land, we will have to abide by this gun law as well. I feel that a lot of people who use guns in the north would suffer as a result of that. People who are using guns would have to take safety courses, only after they have taken safety courses will they be able to receive gun certificates. They will also have to register all guns. If we have to register our guns with the police, we will have to pay for it.

There are many people in the communities who own guns. I also possess about eight guns. Some people possess even more than that. Also, native people lend guns to each other. With this law, if we are going to continue living in our traditional ways, it would be hard for us. This is what I am talking about today. Thank you.
