Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I had had several phone calls and letters on this issue and I realize the clock is ticking, that is why I brought up the question a couple of weeks ago. I would follow up and I appreciate Minister Todd and Minister Dent having that commitment to sit down and discuss this. I wonder when we could have input then from the Minister and let me know so that I can inform constituents as March 31 is quickly approaching.

Mr. Todd.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well, tick, tick, tick as they say in the business of politics. I mean it is March whatever, 6, the last day. We are in a situation where the income tax returns are ticking. I cannot commit today whether in fact we can, across the whole territorial framework, have some kind of system in place that would assist people in income tax. What I will commit to do is to talk to Mr. Dent and see if there is a possibility that somebody could run a workshop of some sort in Iqaluit if that is where he is getting this flood of phone calls from, as my colleague keeps telling us. Of course, if you would like to provide me now with a list of the names and the telephone numbers of the people, we would be only too happy to respond on an individual basis. However, we will take a look at it and if there is a possibility to run some kind of a workshop on filling in of the income tax form, we would be only too happy to do it. Thank you.

Thank you, Todd, Todd, Todd.

Can I ask the Members to limit... You have your preambles. Do not talk for lengthy periods of time when you are doing your supplementaries.

You just follow up on your questions.

Bravo! Bravo!

The clock is ticking away your question period. Mr. Roland.

Thank you. The Premier.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would just like to reassure the Member, and thank Mr. Roland for the excellent preamble and question, that we as a government take all your motions seriously. We will be considering that motion as well as other motions that were made in committee of the whole and in this House. What we do is compile those motions through Mr. Todd and it would have to come back through Mr. Todd to FMB and Cabinet. Once we take a look at them, we go back to Government Ops with how we would like to solve those problems. Thank you.

Thank you. Oral questions. Supplementary, Mr. Roland.

Thank you. Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. What we will be doing is co-ordinating the response through FMBS and we should have that done by the beginning of April, early April, so that we will take a look at those motions. We will see where we can either find money or maybe we cannot find money or if we can agree with the recommendations or whatever, then at the beginning of April we will get back to the Members. Thank you.

Thank you. Oral questions. Supplementary, Mr. Roland.

Thank you. Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are confident that we could do this work fairly quickly and get back to the organizations, or especially to the Members and the committees in a fairly timely fashion. We will get it done as soon as possible. I am not saying here today whether it is going to be a positive response or exactly what everybody wants, but I am saying that I am making a commitment that we will respond. Thank you.

Thank you. Oral questions. Mr. Steen.

Mr. Premier.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Previously, I had quite a bit of experience working with contracts, being Minister of DPW and Housing Corporation. By all means, we do not want to put a contract out to tender and pull it back. That is not the way to do business. That is not good government. Normally through negotiated contracts, the communities already know from the previous year that this work is going to be done in the community. It usually takes quite a few months and sometimes up to six months to negotiate and work up to that. They should know that already. But now that our budget is public and it has just about been passed, I would encourage Members to work with their communities to identify capital projects in that budget they would like to see negotiated and the sooner the better. I do not want to go to tender on things and have to take them back from tender. Thank you.

Thank you. Oral questions. Supplementary, Mr. Steen.
