Mr. Chairman. Mr. Voytilla will be here momentarily. In the meantime, if there are any general questions or discussions that my colleagues would like to ask on the Creation of Two New Territories, I would be only to happy to answer them. I would like to perhaps, make a few opening comments, very brief ones. I think it fundamentally illustrates why we did this and the reason for doing this report. It is important to advise everybody that we did this report for advice for the Interim Commissioner. If he chooses to accept some of it, all of it or any of it, that is his mandate. We did it for the federal government, so we could demonstrate to the federal government, the magnitude of the shortfall on the

transitional side of funding that was not in place in the original Cabinet submission of $150 million in March of 1996.

For this government, we did it, if you want, as a call to action. There is a need to move forward and to move quickly. Where this report will go from here really is going to be a creature of the Interim Commissioner.

We are hoping that the Interim Commissioner will now take it upon himself to call a meeting of all the officials, federal government, territorial, western coalition and his own, to see if we can come to an agreement on what we think we should do and what we should not do, so we can start initiating discussions based on the commitment made by Ms. Stewart with respect to the shortfall of transition costs and more importantly, to start to get the job done. So, Mr. Speaker, now we have my right hand man, Mr. Lew Voytilla, with us today. We would be only to happy to answer any general or technical questions that the Legislative Assembly may have, on this very important document, the Creation of Two New Territories. Thank you.
