Maybe, I went on too long. But I will try to keep it short. I have 16 minutes. What I am trying to say, Mr. Speaker, is that we need to continue to discuss how we are going to provide an appropriate approach to the transition for headquarter's staff from Yellowknife to Nunavut, to Iqaluit which has been designated as the capital. That is our intent here. However, we recognize this is important to say publicly, that there is a desire, understandably so, and there is understanding that the new civil service under the new Nunavut government has to be representative of the population that is there. That is what I wanted to say. Thank you.
