Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I appreciate the opportunity to address the committee.
Mr. Wilson has already made a number of points about co-ops, so I will try not to repeat what he said.
Mr. Wilson and I represent two co-ops [Technical difficulty—Editor] and we have similar problems. I would like to focus on the infrastructure.
In Nunavik, the population is growing and the construction of new infrastructure is not currently keeping up.
Furthermore, our planes are not refrigerated, which causes a lot of difficulties in keeping the products fresh. This could create a big problem with food security.
Also, a lot of information is circulating on social media, which causes a lot of problems for our retailers. People are not aware of the real costs associated with living in the north or in remote areas. Many factors affect the cost of products and many, such as the weather, work against us. We need to educate and inform people so that they understand the reality of the north.
That's basically what I wanted to say. Mr. Wilson has already said it all and I don't want to repeat it. For us, the infrastructure needs are the greatest.
Thank you for your attention.
