Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member for Thebacha is implying an ulterior motive with my statement last night about the programs on principal trades, the trades programs to be moved to the Nunavut region. Mr. Speaker, what I was trying to point out was that indeed we do not have those types of trades programs in the east. I have asked that for the last two years to have those types of programs moved. I do not see why we should have people from Pond Inlet or Iqaluit having to travel to Fort Smith so that we can take those types of trades programs. That is what I was saying. He tried to imply that I was trying to loot, his actual words were looting and pillaging.
