Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was very happy when our Government Leader stated this about decentralizing services to the communities. However, in this statement, there is not very much said regarding Nunavut. Where is the headquarters, for example? Where, in the Northwest Territories, would headquarters be located -- Inuvik, Igloolik or Iqaluit -- if Nunavut were to become reality? It is uncertain right now that it will be agreed upon by all our people. I know there is a research place in Igloolik. We will not have to pay for the capital, and there are only nine years. I would like to see that Nunavut people agree on this.

The Government Leader has indicated in her statement, New Directions, that MLAs, mayors, bands, and chiefs will be consulted during this new direction, and that these guidelines for the new directions are always in place. I feel we are left behind, I have not been asked whether, if we transfer services, it will be appropriate and accepted by the community prior to planning. I previously wanted to say more, but my colleague, Mr, Nerysoo, stated it already, so this is the end of my comments. Thank you.
