Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We haven't got to that level of detail yet. We have just gotten these numbers from the federal government on transition costs. I believe it is $117 million, after you subtract the federal government's presence in the North and what that costs. We will consider that. We are concerned, as well as Members of this Assembly, about the numbers and what type of territories we will have. We are going to have two new territories April 1, 1999. We do want two territories that are financially viable and we don't want layers upon layers of government and our community people getting hit or taking the brunt of the blow and not receiving adequate programs and services because of the cost of too much government. We are going to take a serious look at that and we will report back to the Members. Thank you.
