Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have been fair to all the communities in the territories. As I said, where the land has been claimed, the municipality now has the authority over the land. I will take that as notice and give the Member detailed information on the lands in the west, but we have been very fair with the communities in both east and the west. According to the agreement in Nunavut, Article 14, the municipalities now own the land and they are able to borrow money to develop their lots and so it is in the west, but a lot of the land claims have not been processed yet in some of these communities. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
