(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today in the House I would like to speak on the issue of the libraries. The people are concerned about shutting down the libraries. (Translation ends) Mr. Speaker, I would like to talk a little about the library in Clyde River. We have a small library, but it is a busy place. The community librarian makes sure that people can get the books and magazines they want. The library provides programs for the children and adults. We have books both in English and Inuktitut, so it encourages everyone to read and learn more. The community library is an important place in Clyde River. It is a meeting place, a place for learning. Mr. Speaker, all the talk about cuts to libraries is a concern for the people of Clyde River. Their library is very important to them. I hope that when the government looks at the possible changes to library funding, the Minister remembers the importance of Clyde River library. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
