Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My next question deals with the new endeavours this government is putting forth at a time when, in the matter of eighteen months, we will be divided. There will be two new territories. Why are we imposing on a new government, especially in regard to the east, of taking on new endeavours which may take a matter of years, if not tens of years, to fully utilize and see what the economic benefit or what the program was initially put forth at this time? Having to realize that we are not sure of what the financial implications are going to be to both governments as of 1999? We still do not know exactly what the financial implications are going to be from the federal government, of what their base financial requirements will be to run both governments after 1999? As the Minister dealing with Finance, why are these initiatives needed at this time and imposing something on a new government and governments? At this time, why can we not hold off on some of these initiatives until after 1999?
