(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good afternoon, Members. Today I want to talk about contracting within the Nunavut communities. In the Nunavut communities, under Article 24 of the Nunavut Final Agreement, it states that anyone who is an aboriginal person can apply to have a contract under certain companies or under a certain contract or bid for a contract. In this case, the people of Nunavut can bid for contracts. Today I want to talk about Inuit from my riding, how a construction company in one of my communities has been requesting to do a contract to build an adult education unit in Clyde River. They have been given help from the hamlet of Clyde River and, as well, I have given my assistance as their Member of the Legislative Assembly. I have given them my support. During question period, I will be asking a question to the Minister responsible for Public Works and Services, the honourable Minister Goo Arlooktoo. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. (Translation ends.)
