Business of Supply   in the House and those listening to this debate that Sir John Franklin perished in the Arctic.

Conservation of Fish Stocks and Management of Pinnipeds Act   to my colleague, the member for Nunavut, when she spoke very eloquently about the industry. Like me, she grew up in this industry.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee   gets a non-medical escort. The other recommendation I would have is around the Inuit child first initiative. Right now it's very new, and I'm very appreciative of it. The Inuit child first initiative and the non-insured health benefits are in silos. They don't talk to each other

Government Operations committee  Can you speak a little bit about the procurement process?
