Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in response to the Member's question as to whether the Keewatin pilot project would have any impact on the approved 1998-99 capital budget., no, it is not intended that the budget that is approved by this House would be changed in any way by the Keewatin project. As Members can appreciate many of these projects need to proceed very quickly upon approval early in the new fiscal year. Communities in the Keewatin certainly would not want to see any hold-up in those projects or any delays in those projects.

What we are really talking about is being able to have a proposal which would be handed off to the new government of Nunavut which could be implemented in 1999/2000. That would be the first time in which we could be recommending a capital budget that would reflect the input from the Keewatin communities as per the proposal.

The short answer is no. It is not anticipated at this point because you have the detail of capital in front of you today which certainly does reflect community input through our own internal process. So no, it is not anticipated that would change. Thank you.
