(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker.(Translation ends) I would like to thank the Qikiqtani Association for holding their regular meeting in Arctic Bay. This is the first time they have had the meeting in my home town to my knowledge. With the advent of Nunavut on April 1, 1999 the Qikiqtani Association will become more involved in political and social economic needs for the Inuit in Baffin and in Nunavut. When I look back over the years and see the growth of the Qikiqtani Association I am proud of their representation for all needs in our region. The hospitality of Arctic Bay is famous all over Nunavut and I regret not being able to be in my home town during this eventful meeting. I would like to take the opportunity to thank the President and the Executive for selecting Arctic Bay for this meeting. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
