I have question for the Premier, Mr. Speaker, and it's to do with the question of division. Presently, Mr. Speaker, the process of decision, it seems to me, has some inequity in structure as to how it's being approached, and all the more power to the east, but in Nunavut there is a legislative pace for division, there is a structure for division with the Nunavut Implementation Commission and later on with an interim Commissioner and there's a time frame.

There's not an equal structure in the west, and there is some concern raised by a number of people, and I've had this concern for a long time. At some point, this inequity in structure could cause us some problems as we try to have a fair resolution of the division question.

My question to the Premier is, how would the Premier suggest that we deal with this and what is the government plan to ensure that there is equal participation in the creation of two new territories by both east and west? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
