(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to speak on the general meeting that was held in Igloolik, March 20th to 23rd, with the Social Development Committee. Representatives from all the Nunavut regions were in attendance. At the meeting, we learned a great deal including aspects of the new Nunavut government to be, the role that our culture plays and how we must maintain it and try to understand it. We realize how much of our culture we are losing. Our elders were there to remind us of the importance of our heritage. Young people, elders, men and women were at this meeting. The meeting helped us a great deal and we have to recognize the contribution of the Social Development Committee as well as remembering that we have to implement our cultural nature in our future endeavour. To do this, we must ensure that funding is provided for their work on an ongoing basis. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. (Translation ends)
