Yes, thank you, Mr. Chairman. I move that the Special Committee on Constitutional Reform conduct a public information campaign, prior to the referendum, which would outline the Consensus Report's contents, and identify the implications of the reform package for the Northwest Territories.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Maybe I was not in the House when it was being discussed, but I would like to find out what it will cost this government to do this sort of public information campaign? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Mr. Chairman, my understanding it that it is going to be about $30,000. Right now the options we are looking at is in the neighbourhood of about $30,000 to provide information. Thank you.

I understand that there was no attempt to access federal money because the federal monies were not going to really be worthwhile accessing. Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask the Minister, is the $30,000 coming out of his allotted funds that he has in the constitution committee, so it would not affect other committees of this House? Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, there is no approval for expenditures, and it would come through a supplementary request.

In the same line, I happened to be in Quebec when the discussions on this issue in the Quebec Legislature were under way. I was under the impression that the Quebec government in their approval of going ahead with the constitutional amendments, requested that the federal government pay for the information campaign in Quebec. I am wondering if we, this government, made any attempts to do that?
