Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Once again, Mr. Speaker, the initiative of putting PYs into Nunavut in anticipation of the impeding division of the Northwest Territories was a decision made by the last government. I know there probably are incremental costs in that decision. However, the decision was made and our anticipation with the federal government was that any type of a transfer would be covered by the federal government. As we all know, we are told that $150 million has been identified by the federal government for any costs associated with creating Nunavut. As a result of that, we all should start taking a look at exactly what "incremental costs' for division means. I take the Member's question very seriously. Indeed, it is a cost that we inevitably have to start looking at very seriously to see what it really means. Thank you.
