Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'm not an expert on the Nunavut land claims agreement. However, our department is proceeding with the transfer of lands which is required under that agreement. We are assisting the communities to train the necessary staff who need to be trained through Arctic College. This will commence in January, 1995. At the present time, some communities already have staff funded through the municipal governments, through their core funding from MACA. So, there is already money available in the municipalities but there will be additional money made available by the federal government by July 1996 to help pay salaries and train local land administrators. Thank you.
