Mr. Speaker, those are some good points that the Member has raised. The Premier has been, in the last week, communicating with Mr. Irwin regarding some of our concerns. There is a meeting planned in February, subject to the responses being received from the other parties between Mr. Martin and Mr. Todd to talk further about the funding issue. The GNWT, of all parties I think, is the one who has raised the timing issue more than anyone else, because we know what needs to happen. We know what it involves. We are, after all, the ones who are being divided in two for the purpose of creating two new territories. I appreciate the Member's comments, and the Members of the Division Planning Committee sitting here have taken note of his concerns.
