Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I am sure that the Government Leader knows the Baffin Regional Council has been in a state of financial limbo for some time. I understand from earlier questions asked in this session that an audit was done of the BRC books and that last week, I believe, it was expected to be concluded. My question is, can the Government Leader give us the results of that audit? What I am interested in is, will the regional council be able to operate? I have talked to a number of mayors and MLAs in the region who are anxious to get together and discuss issues that are now looming with the imminent settlement of the claim and the development of Nunavut. The regional leadership has not been able to meet for a couple of years, as far as I can remember. It is critical the financial problems which have plagued the BRC be resolved one way or the other. I am wondering if the Government Leader can tell us, are the audit results in and will they lead to the BRC restoring its financial stability? Thank you.
