Madam Speaker, I believe that, for whatever we try to do in the Northwest Territories, we are trying to readjust our thinking to accommodate the new time line we have for 1999, and to plan in that direction no matter what we do, whether it is a readjustment of resources or decentralization. As we are moving ahead, we are trying to work, keeping in consideration that fact that Nunavut will be here in 1999.

Even in the thinking of government, we are trying to make decisions along those lines. I think that can be done from a central agency or by putting out people in the field. We are trying to make sure we are ahead of the game but, at the same time, not taking away from the fact that the federal government has clearly indicated that they would financially support the upgrading of requirements for two territories. At the same time, life has to go on, and we try to program our thinking with the realization that a decision has been made and our thought patterns have to reflect those decisions. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
