[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]
Thank you, Ms. Idlout.
They are very expensive in the north. A lot of them are provided to meet crisis needs.
I can say that every year we get funding. We request funding from our government. The Government of Canada also allocated some funds for the needs for the infrastructure, but it's never enough.
This is a very big topic and a big responsibility.
Thank you for providing funds, but certainly we still need a lot of funds for our critical needs, if you can understand me.
