Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, I think it is important to point out that the ultimate responsibility for deciding on where Nunavut wishes to purchase these transitional services until such time as the new Nunavut gets fully up and running lies with the Interim Commissioner. Certainly in our planning process we have indicated to his office and his staff that we are prepared to provide that service if they so wish, and we are under discussions right now of some possibilities and some categories as we would provide that service if he so wished. It is an important component, if you want, of this transition to two new governments, but ultimately the responsibility for purchasing those services lies with Mr. Anawak, the Interim Commissioner.
