Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Well I think it is important, given the current environment within Yellowknife, which has been hardest hit as we all know not only with cuts from this government, but in terms of the current gold crisis, that when we make comments about who is leaving and who is not leaving, that we do it with a certain amount of care. The numbers quoted yesterday by Mr. Ootes perhaps, I suspect, were taken from our transition plan which has not been accepted to this date by the federal government or the Interim Commissioners' office.

We are currently analyzing the Interim Commissioner's office plan as we speak. This discussion is going on today. One, of course, of the key issues is the impact on jobs and when and how the jobs are going to be moved out of Yellowknife. As much as possible, once we come to a consensus as to what is going to be the staged development of the transfer of responsibilities, once we come to that agreement, we are going to sit down with the staff and work out with them, where is possible, the impact of the reductions to try to accommodate some of that through attrition, try to streamline some of the people who were already here who may not want to move to the new jobs into vacant existing jobs if they are here in Yellowknife.

So, there will be a series of things done in a caring and compassionate way but we are not in a position today to say this amount of jobs are going to go at this date because we have not come to a consensus yet on the staged fronts of responsibilities from this government to the new government. Thank you.
