(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today, I want to support new businesses, in particular, the small businesses that are in the smaller communities. As they start to establish their own small businesses, they often have no place to turn to and, even if they get their supplies from the north, this continues to be higher because their businesses are smaller than other larger businesses. As well, the government has to give more support to the smaller businesses by way of having funding available to them. Regarding the government offices in communities, they have to do more to help the smaller businesses in those communities that run their own businesses. Regarding contracts, when they bid for certain contracts, because they are running on a smaller scale, they often are not given contracts. I will be asking a question regarding this later on. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. (Translation ends)
