Thank you, Mr. Chairman. To the motion, Mr. Chairman, Mr. Arlooktoo and Mr. O'Brien both indicated that they have spoken to the two communities in question either directly or indirectly. I believe that in fairness to one community that is affected by the motion and the Report of the Nunavut Electoral Boundaries, I am wondering what is the wish of the people of the Whale Cove. Do they wish to be a part of Sanikiluaq or Arviat? In order to be fair to that community, my question would be what is the wish of the people of Whale Cove? Secondly, Mr. Chairman, the one way

to satisfy everyone in question would be to make Whale Cove a stand alone riding and I do not think that would be practical given the population of that community which I believe is not over 500. I am wondering, if I may ask to move the motion of what is the wish of the people of Whale Cove. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
