Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In Cabinet at the present time, we have a Cabinet committee on division that is made up of Cabinet colleagues. I co-chair this committee with my colleague, Mr. Arlooktoo. We have a Nunavut Secretariat which is headed up by Tom Isaac, who I think some of you have met. There is clearly a need for this government to be somewhat visionary and move forward in terms of trying to develop departmental strategies as to division of the Territories; we can't sit and wait until April 1, 1999 and say, oops, what are we going to do. We're certainly working as fast as we can because I think we're a little behind schedule.

Some of us thought we were a bit of a visionary when we decided to put assistant deputy ministers in the Eastern Arctic as an example of how to do it. What we're trying to do here is move quickly to put departmental plans in place that address my honourable colleague's question of equity and fairness and having a plan in place -- a blueprint - that will allow us to move quickly to ensure that the two governments are ready and up and running on April 1, 1999. At this time, we certainly can't put everything on hold. We have to move aggressively and try to put a plan in place that everybody is reasonably comfortable with. If not, I suspect, Mr. Speaker, that we would end up in chaos and I'm certainly not prepared to let that happen. Thank you.
