Mr. Chairman, that was the point I was trying to make. The Nunavut and western territories receive separate representation and it's open. That's the answer, I think, to Mr. Gargan's question. It could be six. It leaves it wide open. What we're saying here is as long as the representation is equal.

Thank you. To the motion.

Mr. Antoine.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is the final motion, I believe, of this report.

I move that this committee recommends that the Executive Council address the issue of Senate representation with the federal government prior to the 1995 federal Cabinet submission on Nunavut.

Thank you kindly, honourable Member for Nahendeh. The motion is in order. To the motion. Mr. Gargan.

I'm not too clear on this. What is this with the time of the 1995 federal Cabinet submission on Nunavut? Is that legislation that we're talking about?

Mr. Antoine.

There is to be a report to the federal government next year by September 1995, as recommendation 1. It's going to be presented by NIC's recommendations.

Thank you. To the motion.
