I thank the Finance Minister for that answer. My concern, and I'm sure the concern of the Finance Minister, is the commitments made in the last couple of years have to be implemented three or four years from now, in what could be a totally different fiscal climate. It causes me some concerns. Madam Speaker, the federal Nunavut legislation, as I understand it, allows the federal government to decide what areas actually would be covered for implementation cost and how much they will pay. So my question to the Minister is, is the Minister having any specific discussions with the federal government to start defining now the areas that will be considered implementation costs by the federal government? Thank you, Madam Speaker.
