Madam Chair, I appreciate the Minister's comments and response but I believe it is a legitimate question and I do not believe that I am talking about limiting programs to the east versus west at this time. I do not believe I am talking about limiting expenditures, east versus west. We are talking about a loan and it is quite different, the way I look at it. Who is going to pay it back to who and if the Minister can clarify it with me, the land claims that says the interim commissioner has the only authority to make expenditures towards Nunavut after he is appointed, whether or not that has any weight? How are we going to abide by it, statements like that, because I am concerned about how we are going to get this money back and whether we have the authority to lend it.
