(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. (Translation ends) Many Members of this House spoke about the national media's video of seal hunting in Newfoundland. Today, I would like to talk about this a bit more. I would like to speak about how Inuit often bear the brunt of the media stories created by animal rights activists. The video seen a few days ago on national television showed seals being slaughtered alive. A group described this as cruel, criminal and out of control. Although this footage was a specific case in Newfoundland, my concern is that all seal hunters, including the Inuit, will be tainted with the same brush. What will Canada or the world think about Inuit people now? These animal rights groups have had a devastating effect on the livelihood of Inuit seal hunters in the Northwest Territories. We all know that aboriginal people have the highest unemployment rate, the highest suicide rate, and the highest alcohol rate in Canada. Mr. Speaker, these groups play on issues like this but seem to forget about how important it is for Inuit hunters to maintain their culture and traditional way of life. Anti-seal hunting groups say the seal hunt must end. This is not realistic or fair to Inuit hunters. The Inuit hunt not only hunt for fur but for food as well. Our traditional lifestyle is very important to us. We cannot allow people who know nothing about us, to tell us how we should live our lives. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
