Qujannamiik. Thank you so much.
First of all, I just wanted to thank both the ministers for appearing. My first question to Minister Hajdu, which I'll be asking in Inuktitut, will be focusing on the statement that you made that a lack of access to capital is a main barrier to economic development.
[Member spoke in Inuktitut as follows:]

[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]
I see you have many responsibilities. Your department has been active in removing barriers to procurement within the Inuit organizations. Can you describe what these active measures have been and what problems you have run into?
