Mr. Speaker, there are some better informed historians in this Legislature than I am. But I have been led to believe that it is one of the more controversial, emotional issues that has hit this Legislature since its infancy. Not that it is out of it, but we know that it is a very emotional issue that sometimes even threatens to split the seemingly rather solid Nunavut caucus. It certainly gets the ire of the western politicians up to a unseemingly high degree on certain occasions. I believe that the cabinet would still want an opportunity to see if we could forge at least a common position regarding what we do, whether we have a single united position with regard to the upcoming plebiscite or not. But as yet the cabinet has not taken an in-depth decision on the issue.
