(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. (Translation ends) Mr. Speaker, a situation has come up, one that will directly affect communities in both western and eastern Arctic. As I understand it, Mr. Speaker, the coastguard plans to cut costs by eliminating its one and only icebreaker in the western Arctic. They plan to have one of the remaining icebreakers from the eastern Arctic provide services whenever it is necessary. This plan looked good on paper, Mr. Speaker, but I am very concerned about the effect it will have on remote communities and on sealift operations. Remote communities throughout the Arctic rely heavily on icebreaking services. Without these services, I feel that sealift operations will certainly be at risk. It was only last year, Mr. Speaker, that one sealift operation required the services of both western and eastern icebreakers. Without such services, sealift operations would not have been possible, and the cost of living would have sky-rocketed. As I said, Mr. Speaker, I am very concerned with this plan. I urge the Minister to take immediate action on this issue and I will be questioning him at an appropriate time today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
