Thank you, Mr. Roland. General comments. What is the wish of the committee?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my Member's statement I indicated the importance of the community freezers in the communities, as voiced by the residents of Paulatuk and Holman. They are concerned about the storage of their wild meat and their wild game this spring and summer if funding is not made available. My question is to the honourable Minister Brendan Bell, Minister of RWED, on whether he will direct his department to dig half way into their pockets to find the necessary funds for the continued maintenance and operation for the 2004-2005 season? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
