Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Let me say, again, to the point of being repetitive, that this Minister, who is charged with the responsibility of division, understands the division of two Territories requiring two new formula agreements, and there has to be a balanced approach to the negotiations and to the pre-planning and pre-implementation of any division of the new Territories. I think it is important to say that. So if I say it now, hopefully I will not have to continue to say it in the coming months, because I have said it until I am blue in the face.
I fully understand the responsibilities I have been charged with in relation to the division of the Territories and the need to find a balance and that there has to be two new formula arrangements. I cannot unequivocally say today that in the next 30 days I can put together the kind of framework and kind of timetable that my honourable colleague understandably is asking for.
What I will commit to, and have already committed to, is to move as quickly as I can to provide exactly that, so there is some minimal blueprint as to the basic needs that we have to put in place whether or not consensus is reached by all the parties. Okay? Thank you.
