Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also have some concern about the membership within the committee. It seems that, primarily, Members are from the Western Arctic, and there is only one representative from the eastern part of the country. Mr. Pudluk is from the High Arctic, and it is very hard to travel to other regions when you are living in the High Arctic. I had the same concern as my colleague across the table, Silas Arngna'naaq, and my colleague, the Member for Amittuq. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I had a brief meeting with my deputy minister and my assistant deputy minister. We agreed that this facility should be deferred. Mr. Speaker, even a politician has the right to make a mistake once in a while. Maybe that was my mistake when I said it was confirmed by the cabinet. Actually it was my officials and I, and we talked about this in my office on the sixth floor in the Renewable Resources' office. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
