Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Very clearly one of the biggest major challenges facing this Assembly is the issue of division, which will effect every one of the people we represent in the Northwest Territories. Mr. Speaker, the people that I represent want to understand this process and what is going on. However at this point they are besieged by all sorts of information. We have formula financing arrangements, we have transitional funding, we have incremental funding, we have goods. Our assets and liabilities need to be divided. People do not know exactly what is going on. We need good, clear information for the people, that demonstrates we know and are in control of this process. The people want assurances, Mr. Speaker, that at the end of the day the level of service and programs cannot suffer, east or west, because of division. We have an obligation as we move ahead to give that good, clear, understandable information and keep the people informed. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
