Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The way resupply contracts are issued in the north are in zones or in groups. There is the eastern Arctic resupply, which includes pretty much the whole of Baffin region and which includes Repulse Bay and part of Pelly Bay. There is Keewatin region, and then there is the Kitikmeot region These are stand alone, paying-for-themselves-type contracts. Therefore, there should not be significant changes to the Keewatin resupply as a result of this. Perhaps, in the future, as Nunavut evolves and savings for the Nunavut government are realized, the significant savings, I would expect that would make a difference in the general coffers of the Nunavut government, and therefore affect the Kitikmeot.
