Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My last question, when Iqaluit was running a campaign to become a capital of Nunavut, we were told according to Footprints 2 that when Iqaluit becomes the capital that Nunavut government job positions would be decentralized to such communities such as Pangnirtung, Cape Dorset, Igloolik, Cambridge Bay, and so on. Now, can the Minister of Finance tell me in case the federal government cannot pay for $136 million, and we do realize that in order to decentralize the positions in Nunavut area, we would require at least $18 million. Can the Minister tell me in case federal government does not come up with $136 million, would the positions still be decentralized or not? Thank you.
