Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Before my question, I would like to say hello to my brother-in-law, John Joanas in Clyde River.

Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Public Works. As the Minister knows, the Nunavut Implementation Commission has recommended a decentralized form of government for Nunavut, where new jobs would be spread around the larger communities, like Pangnirtung in the Baffin region, and not just confined to the regional centres. Does the Government of the Northwest Territories stand by the decentralized approach recommended by the NIC for spreading jobs and benefits as widely as possible around Nunavut?
