Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Premier with regard to my Member's statement. I wonder if the Premier could inform us as to who the three representatives are for the territorial government on the Nunavut Implementation Commission.

Mr. Speaker, could the Premier advise us when the last time these people reported to the territorial government was and to whom did they report?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is my understanding that all the costs are associated with the federal government and they pick up the cost.

Mr. Speaker, considering the unfavourable decisions made recently by the federal government, apparently on the advice of NIC, should we not be reconsidering these appointments?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Premier and it is in relation to the statement that Mr. Ootes made earlier concerning the money that will be spent in implementing Nunavut. Considering the fact that NTI had felt they needed $300 million to implement Nunavut and are only going to be receiving $150 million, $30 million of which the feds will use for themselves, is that enough to implement Nunavut?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, after hearing the federal government's numbers and listening to Mr. Irwin last week when I met with him, we, too, as a government have some concerns about the numbers. We have some concerns about what Nunavut would look like April 1, 1999. This week, we will be coming out with a position as a government on what we see these numbers meaning. We will be meeting with NTI, as well as the federal government, in Arviat this weekend and hopefully we will get some clarification on the numbers and we will definitely be getting clarification on the role of the GNWT in the whole process. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Is it the intention of this government to implement Nunavut at all costs, even if this money is not enough?
