Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Finance. On Monday, January 27th, the honourable Member for Thebacha had questioned the Minister concerning infrastructure that is being put into Nunavut and there are some buildings that will be built prior to division The Member had wanted to know who will be paying for the O and M costs for those buildings. The Finance Minister had indicated, according to Hansard, the unedited version, that "the O and M costs have to come from the federal government, from what would fall on the incremental side". Mr. Speaker, I would like clarification whether the territorial government has to expend those funds first and then get reimbursed from the federal government, hopefully get reimbursed, or will the federal government be paying those O and M costs directly, or how will that happen? Thank you.
