(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I had lunch with Mike Ferris, the Baffin Island MACA Superintendent. He reported to me that they had worked on the issue of the water treatment plant. He reported to me that the status of it is the hamlet of Grise Fiord will be working with MACA. Also, iceberg cutting will be re-established. They stopped cutting ice for water in May. In the future, the Grise Fiord hamlet will be establishing a system and they will be hiring a consultant to make plans for the future of water supply in Grise Fiord. We will find out from the local people exactly what the intent is and they will be getting water trucks so they can buy water from the community. The hamlet CEO is also working with MACA officials to deal with the issue of water supply in Grise Fiord. Thank you. (Translation ends)
