(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am pleased to be able to ask questions to my fellow MLAs, I will be asking questions to only one of the candidates. This is not to be unfair, but I wanted to have Mr. Antoine clarify his position on a matter that Mr. Kakfwi spoke to in his opening comments.
The people of Nunavut recognize that despite the fact that Nunavut will be created in only 14 weeks, Nunavut residents recognize there will be a requirement to work closely with the western Northwest Territories. There will be a requirement that for the next three to five years, Nunavut will have to buy some services from the west. This will require trust, cooperation and goodwill. I would like to ask Mr. Antoine the following question, what are you prepared to do if you are elected to Premier, to ensure that the Government of the Northwest Territories will treat Nunavut with fairness, equality and respect? How would you achieve that? How can Nunavut residents be assured of that? Thank you, Mr. Chairman. (Translation ends)
