Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also wish to give my special thanks to the Honourable Stephen Kakfwi and officials from his Department of Renewable Resources for actively supporting the Baffin applications with the Minister. I also appreciate the support we have been given from our MP, Jack Anawak, and the Honourable Ethel Blondin, Minister of State and MP for the Western Arctic.

Mr. Speaker, the Minister has recently made an announcement about these licences. Mr. Kakfwi has been communicating with his office. Later today, I will be asking Mr. Kakfwi for some questions, decisions and announcements which were recently made by the Minister and what the potential is for further allocations of the Baffin Inuit. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
