Madam Speaker, in attempting to address this issue, I don't want to leave the impression that a magical division of powers is necessary at all times. There is an attitude of addressing issues as they come up. We have to begin to think about the time of division. Now, whether it is moving people around with the resources we have, or having a different way of doing things, we, as a government, are committed to trying to think in a forward fashion.

There is going to be division in 1999 and the fact is, we have to continue to support programs and services and cause the least amount of disruption possible. At this point in time, the process is to try to accommodate the fact that changes have to be made and accommodation has to be made to the differences in the level of program services and direction between two territories. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
