Thank you, Mr. Chairman. First of all, I am told by my honourable colleague, Mr. Arlooktoo, that NTI and NCC are fairly confident they are going to meet targets and the deadline they set for their infrastructure. We applaud them for that. There is no question my colleague is right. There is a concern about who is going to pay the leases. My understanding is that is some of the discussions right now with the Interim Commissioner. I would believe that the ultimate sign off on fiscal responsibility would perhaps be a combination of the federal Minister and perhaps, although I am not sure, the Interim Commissioner. I mean I cannot speak for the Interim Commissioner; but if I was him, because I should qualify this, I would want some assurances from the federal government that they will pay the bill, whatever the cost is going to be. It would seem to me, I am advised, that there are discussions under way on this very issue. I do not know what the final outcome will be. We are trying to encourage some clarity on it. When that does unfold, I will only be too happy to advise my colleague because I know it is extremely important for him and the other community of Baker Lake which have both decentralized communities, which we support. My initial reaction would be the fiscal responsibility for the leases and the lease costs lies with the federal Minister. That would be my
reaction at this time. Now, others may interpret it differently, but that is the way I would see it at this time.
