Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My congratulations on your landslide, as well as congratulations to the vice-chairs on their landslides.
Welcome to our visitors today. It's very important that we hear from the Inuit in the north.
I really would like to direct my questions and have your thoughts in terms of the recent creation of the Northern Economic Development Agency in our 2009 budget economic action plan. I'm wondering if you could have a look at that and share your thoughts on how that funding will assist the Inuit in jobs in the north and in creating opportunities there.
