Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  [Witness speaks in Inuktitut.] Thank you very much for your comments. As I said, I agreed to try this new program because I have been frustrated with high prices. I live in the north and I understand how it is. I'll be accountable to all of northern Canada, not just Kivalliq or Baffin or Kitikmeot or northern Quebec, but to a lot of communities that are looking for affordable milk and eggs.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you. I hear you, Ms. Ashton, because I'm from Arviat, just down from Churchill. My family has ordered from Winnipeg and we have also used the food mail program. I have also been very frustrated by high prices in our northern stores. So I do hear you, which is why I agreed to try this new program.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  [Witness speaks in Inuktitut] Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Borbey. Mr. Chairperson and committee members, my name is Elizabeth Copland, and I am from Arviat, in Nunavut, where I have lived most of my life and have spent more than two decades working for the people of my community.
