Qujannamiik, Iksivautaq, Iksivautaq meaning “chair”. I will be splitting my time with the member for Courtenay—Alberni. My first set of questions will be regarding Canada Post. Does the minister know how many post offices are operated in Nunavut?

Mr. Chair, I do look forward to that information. I will help the minister with some of these questions. Nunavut has 25 post offices in all 25 communities. It has eight banks. I am quite sure that the realities are similar in indigenous communities. I am going to ask the minister a yes-or-no question. Does the minister agree that access to affordable, quality banking is a challenge for Nunavut and for indigenous communities?

Mr. Chair, will the minister work with me to at least develop a pilot project in Nunavut to check the viability of developing a postal banking system for the rest of Canada?
