Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I guess I should first clarify that Mr. Todd is the Minister responsible for Division. I have the responsibility for transition planning for Nunavut and Mr. Dent has a similar position for the western regions. I do appreciate the question by the Member for Iqaluit. It is true that the Member has raised the issue of article 24 and article 23 on several occasions here in the House and privately with me. I do appreciate the fact that we do try to iron out some of the problems in dealing with those issues. The Government of the NWT has approved implementation measures for contracting in the Nunavut settlement area in accordance with our obligations under the Nunavut Land Claim. This was approved by Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated this past fall and is now in effect.
