Mr. Chairman, in early September, the assistant deputy minister of Public Works met with the vice-president of finance for the Power Corporation to negotiate the sale of the power plant. At the present time, the Power Corporation's position is that it will accept the sale of the plant for the nominal selling price of one dollar only. That doesn't quite meet the government's requirements, Mr. Chairman. So negotiations are continuing. I know we have been saying this for many years, Mr. Chairman, and I think the previous government said it as well. However, hopefully, as soon as negotiations are concluded we will be able to report to Members that the sale has, in fact, taken place, as soon as we can. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have no objection to the $500,000 special warrant. But I understand that Nunavut Caucus is being provided with $40,000 for a similar program. The Nunavut Implementation Commission is moving along fairly well in getting their plans in place and will probably have good material some time soon. There would probably be a request from the NIC and Nunavut Caucus to hold a constitutional convention or something like that, in order to have a broader review and approval of the work of the NIC and Nunavut Caucus. My question is, what would happen if that kind of a request was made from the Nunavut Caucus?
