My honourable colleague is certainly entitled to his opinion, but he certainly has given me the impression over the last 12 months that he wants to keep slowing it down, and has not come forward with any constructive analysis of what we should do. I have already said in the House, and I have said to the point of being repetitive, that we are going to bring in a pre-implementation plan to move forward in an orderly and efficient manner towards the division of the two territories. And a decision as to whether we decentralize or whether community empowerment, et cetera, should go ahead, should be made by the people themselves. So, I want to reassure him just so he understands that we intend to bring in a paper which he will have an equal opportunity, as others will, to make comment on, with respect to the pre-implementation of an east/west, not just east, east/west pre-implementation division plan and seek the appropriate funding to do it with the federal government.

It is not our intent to turn the lights on April 1 and have, in an ideal world, the whole of the government be sitting in Nunavut, although that would be my obvious personal preference. The reality, both the fiscal and the practical reality of that, simply can not occur. But I am not going to sit back and not move aggressively in putting together some option papers for consideration by this House and other parties, NTI and the federal government, as to how we move forward. And as the constitutional discussions unfold, in the west, as we hope they will, we will then have to meet these requirements on an on-going basis. And I may mean a decentralized regional type of government, I do not know. It is not for me to say, but the reality is it is the will of the people. The people have spoken. Parliament has put the legislation in place. We should just get on with the job and we should do it in a timely, orderly, and efficient way and that is what I intend to do as the Minister responsible for putting together the division strategy. Thank you.
