Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do not have any problem reviewing the situation or looking at the situation, but as Members know, and as the Member does know, that we, as a government, are in a financial situation that makes it very difficult to find spare dollars. We do not have any spare dollars to put into lowering food prices at the present time, but we have worked with the communities to try to get more food brought into those communities. For example, in Grise Fiord, where the food did not get shipped because of the ice, a government resupply was shipped privately. We did assist in that case. Thank you.
