Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under the auspices of the CCON, the Co-ordinating Committee on Officials of Nunavut, guidelines have been drafted on the possibility of holding a public vote on the gender parity question for the first Nunavut Legislature. These guidelines are presently being developed and have now gone forward to the federal government to see if the federal government is prepared to fund the holding of this public vote. It is estimated to be in the neighbourhood of $350,000 to hold this vote on gender parity. The matter is now before the federal government to see if they are prepared to fund the vote. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
