Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As you know, we are currently in the midst of a historic constitutional process in the Northwest Territories, that may very well achieve the division of the Northwest Territories, and the establishment of a new territory in the eastern Arctic. I am quite interested to know what implications this agreement has for the establishment of Nunavut, I would like the panel, the special committee, and the representative of I.T.C. to comment on the implications of this agreement for the eventual establishment of a new territory in the eastern Arctic. Can the new territory be established through an act in parliament, or will it require unanimous consent of the provinces?
