Thank you, Mr. Chairperson.

Firstly, I want to welcome the delegation here.

I have two questions for you, Raigili, if you could reply. If you wish to reply in Inuktitut, go ahead.

For Raigili I ask, how can you describe how it happened that there are 16 to 20 people in one unit, in one house? How did this happen?
