(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. When I was in Resolute Bay, I was very thankful that I was made to feel welcome and I am aware of the concern of the Member. We discussed the arena with the residents of Repulse Bay. We told them that we had some money to build an outside arena. It is not really an arena but it is an outdoor hockey rink with a fence around it. That is all the money that we have to build an arena of that kind. I asked my officials to look into whether they could put a roof over the arena outside, even though there is not enough funding. In the fall of 1996, MACA officials had someone do a plan as to what kind of hockey arena would be built outside. At the end of February, I will hear from my officials as to what is happening with the arena and I will let the Member know. The Resolute Bay residents will be informed as well. Thank you.
