Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I assure the Member that I don't consider his questioning a running record. I understand that this is very important to his community. He has made that point abundantly clear to me and to the public, I believe. I also understand the
urgency and understand the cultural implications here and the willingness to not be seen to be wasting any meat in the community. I appreciate that and respect that. Last night, after the discussion in the House, I asked the department to sit down and come up with a proposed solution to this. What we're prepared to do, Mr. Speaker, is to fund the operation of this freezer for the upcoming season. We don't want to see any delay, we don't want to see any meat wasted. This would be the last season though, Mr. Speaker. I would also like to get the Member's acceptance that if we fund the operation of this freezer for this season, that we also agree that in following seasons we'll move to having people have chest freezers in their homes. If the Member is amendable to that solution, I think we need to get moving quickly so that those freezers can make the barge this season and that there be no interruption of service delivery. So I'm hopeful that that will be an acceptable solution to the Member, and maybe he can indicate if that's the case. Thank you.
