Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the situation regarding the environment, the area I am discussing right now is, of course, very important because many of our people are still subsistence hunters because of the price of foods, especially in the eastern and western northern parts of our territory. Greenland proposed in an arctic convention for the protection of the environment and conservation of flora and fauna. I understand some Members of this House will be travelling to Greenland next month. I am wondering if the Minister would be going to Greenland and if he does go, will he be discussing the Greenland proposal on the arctic convention for the protection of the environment? If he is not going, will that message be carried by this government? Thank you.
