Yes, Mr. Speaker. I think one of the things that, certainly I have been saying and others have, Mr. Arlooktoo said, in his press conference in Iqaluit, is the whole question of affordability of the new government and the ability for it to function in an efficient way is going to be critical. If we consider the kinds of steps that we have had to take, with the fiscal changes to our formula and the strain on our services that we are providing, clearly there is going to be a need for affordability and the design of the government to go hand in hand. I really want to stress to my colleague, and the public at large that is listening, if any are, that this will be a paramount priority of the Premier and others. We will try to urge the other two parties to the table in responding to the Footprints in the Snow 2 report. Thank you.
