Mr. Speaker, our five-year plan, whether it be for Nunavut or for the West, is based upon the current level of service and the requirements of the communities and the requirements of municipalities across Nunavut. The incremental costs and transitional costs related to a new Nunavut government is based upon an increase in activity, in PYs, in infrastructure, that may require water and sewer or roads, at cetera. So I would suggest to you, Mr. Speaker, that until we get the full detail of this, which we don't have, we need to proceed with the budget as laid out. At the end of the day, once we have the detail, we can have a lengthy debate on whether there is a duplication of services, whether it's required or not.

For example -- hypothetically, if I may -- if in the new Nunavut government, there are going to be 150 PYs in my honourable colleague's riding -- which there appears to be -- in Iqaluit, there would be additional costs related to housing, water and sewer, et cetera, over and above the level that he currently requires. That cost would be picked up by the federal government through this transition and incremental cost. That doesn't take away from the need he has right now -- or others, for that matter -- in the current budget cycle. Thank you.
