(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would just like to talk on behalf of the motion. If I understand it correctly, I could support it. But it seems I cannot really support it because I do not really understand it. With respect to my constituents, I feel that of the people who get support, there are not very many people in our area that get this support. There are a couple of people that I have heard from but with Nunavut coming, I feel that this will be dealt with when the time comes. I think that there will be a time when we will be able to deal with this issue. So with that respect, I will not be supporting this motion. With Nunavut coming, I think once Nunavut becomes a reality, we will be able to deal with it. Because I do not really understand the motion, I am not saying that I am not in support of the elders. Of course, I am in support because I represent a majority of elders. Thank you.
