Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Nunavut will be having their election in February and then there will be, by mid-February, we will have an indication of who the 19 Members are going to be. I think that will be a starting point. This Northwest Territories, we are very small and people who are putting their name forward, I am familiar with most of them and whoever is successful in their bid to be Members of the Legislative
Assembly for the first Nunavut Legislative Assembly, will be known. Being familiar with the people there is a start. I have known a lot of people in Nunavut on a personal basis and I think we all do that in the north, we are very familiar and friendly with everybody else, so that is a good start.
Once the Legislative Assembly is developed into a full Legislative Assembly, and once they go through their process in the early part of April of who their Premier is going to be and who is going to be on Cabinet, I think they are on their own and they are separate from us and we have to treat them as a separate entity then. It is a different process altogether. Once they get their government into place, I think, along with all the other provincial governments and territorial governments, we will congratulate them and make contact.
We have a special relationship with Nunavut already because we all know we are going to be providing programs and services so there will be arrangements made with the Office of the Interim Commissioner there that will tie us into Nunavut already. There are a number of areas where the processes are in place and I think there is going to have to be some sort of a formal type of an agreement there. We use a memorandum of understanding type of agreement with other jurisdictions, perhaps that is one way of making the formal type of arrangement with Nunavut, once they are in place. Thank you.
