Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My supplementary is to the same Minister. Realizing the northern manufacturing initiatives have been successful in this western part of the territory, would the Minister look into the possibilities of making the same initiatives in Nunavut communities? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, it has been a very successful undertaking in the Northwest Territories. How it was developed was they went to public proposal call and anyone interested could have put in a proposal to bid on these contracts. I also believe that last year in Iqaluit, cabinets were manufactured. We are working with an Iqaluit company now to manufacture cabinets in Iqaluit. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One thing we don't have that the west has is trees. However, there are fibreglass products that could be successfully implemented in Nunavut communities to increase employment and create a viable economy. Would the Minister look to see whether that would be feasible or not?

Since I know his department is very involved in assisting in the holding of these community referenda, what is the choice the communities will be making when they vote in April? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The question will be, do you want to give your municipality the right to sell municipal lands; either yes or no. Those are the two choices that the voters have. Thank you.

If the voters vote no, the municipalities will not be able to sell land for at least 20 years before there is another referendum allowed. If the majority of the voters vote yes, they will give the municipalities the right to sell the municipal lands at any given time between that date and the next 20 years. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Do I understand, Mr. Speaker, that even if people in a community feel that they may not be ready right away to sell land, but they might be ready in five, 10 or 15 years, if they would like to keep the option open, they should vote yes. Is that correct? Thank you.
