Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, if money was not limited, we probably would have librarians in every community who had graduated from university and we would have large libraries in every community. In fact we do not. We have found, given the fiscal climate, we are able to deliver satisfactory service in other regions. Making the change we propose to make in Nunavut and the Keewatin is a result of the fiscal climate in which we are forced to operate these days. In response to the Member's direct question about the Legislative Library, the Legislative Library for Nunavut will still have the assistance of the Legislative Library we have here in Yellowknife. That is the proper place for the library to get its assistance right now for Nunavut. If in fact, the interim commissioner believes it is necessary to set up such a position in advance of Nunavut coming into effect, it is entirely the responsibility of the person who fills the position to set such a library up. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
