Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question to the Minister relates to the allocation of funding for my own community of Arviat. Arviat is one of the fastest-growing communities in the Eastern Arctic. The numbers at this point in time were approximately 300 people less than Rankin. My intent is not to question what is happening with Rankin but, when I look at the numbers, they don't seem to add up. We have $192,000 allocated for 1996-97, nothing for future and we have $2 million for our neighbouring community of Rankin. How do you hope to deal with the growth in this community and in most of the other communities in the Keewatin? There is nothing there compared to our sister community.
