Qujannamiik, Mr. Speaker. Currently, there is a lot of work and discussions about division of the Northwest Territories. Of major concern to all governments involved is the cost of division and the implications to this government. It has always been my understanding that the federal government would pay for any incremental costs incurred for division, so it would be nice to get some clarification on this issue. I would like to ask the Premier, is it still the understanding between the Government of the Northwest Territories and the federal government that the federal government would pay for any incremental costs incurred in division?
