Thank you, Minister.
I have one quick question about nutrition north. The communities in Nunavut keep telling me that the foods that arrive through nutrition north, which are supposed to be nutritious and healthy, arrive expired. What we are now doing is wasting money on cargo rates. By the time the nutritious food arrives, those products have expired. How will this department take care of making sure that nutritious food is getting to Nunavut not expired? It's a waste of money paying cargo for nothing.
