Mr. Speaker, the general conditions under which most political leaders of the Western Arctic have indicated they would support division have been fairly consistent and fairly clear since 1980-81. Those conditions were that the constitutional future of the residents of the western territory would be fairly secure -- those are my own words -- before division would proceed. There would be some assurance that the level of service that is provided for people, that they are accustomed to, would not be adversely affected or disrupted in any major way. Also, a more recent arrival to the scene was the growing concern for the well-being of our government workers, that they would not be unfairly dealt with if division should occur. Those have been fairly consistent, and I think we have already taken those into account in drafting the question. They are provided in the preamble. Thank you.
