Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Once again, the message is very clear, that we are in support of decentralization. The Government of the Northwest Territories wants to see it happen, and we will be there assisting the federal government and the Interim Commissioner to making it happen, once a couple of conditions are met. Those are somewhat outside our control. One is the government of the Northwest Territories is not responsible for the construction of infrastructure, the Nunavut Construction Corporation is. I understand that they are several months behind schedule. The other is the federal government coming up with the funding for decentralization. So, once we have those, the GNWT will be there doing whatever it can to make sure decentralization happens.
