Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question to the Minister of Finance is, and it is I believe, more for clarification, I read a report in the newspaper where the $136 million was identified as a cost for the creation of Nunavut. I believe the general public were aware of the $150 million that had been previously granted to Nunavut for training and infrastructure. Could the Minister shed some light on criticism that the government has received that nobody knows what the costs are. I believe there was information presented by this government very early on that give a much larger figure. So I would ask the Minister to comment on the amounts of money that have come in the past, have been asked for and additional funds that will be needed. Thank you.
