Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not know where to begin. I am just asking a couple of questions here. I am asking what is the impact on the decentralized communities? Are there going to be job losses in those communities? Can the decentralized model go ahead? That is what I asked.

No, that is not what I am saying. I am asking the Minister two questions. Thank you, Mr. Todd, are you the Minister from MACA? I asked two questions there. Number one, what would the impact on a decentralized community model be? Would there be job loss? If there are no job losses, and you say that in the House, fine. I have asked her three times and I keep getting back motherhood and apple pie statements.

I am not trying to be confrontational. I do not have the proposal in front of me. It has not been tabled. They come up with the committee one time. You said you talked about it at the Baffin Leaders meeting. You came up with a five sentence thing. I confirmed that with some of the other Members who were at that meeting. There was not a big display on the Keewatin pilot project.

There was no overview on that project, specifically at that meeting. That is not a meeting or a standing committee of this House. Let us get that straight for one time here. I am not trying to be confrontational. It might be the best plan possible, but I cannot tell that if you cannot answer the questions that have been put here.

I would be pleased to go over to the Keewatin in April and meet with the mayors. I suggested that to Peter Kay when he was here last week, and find out what was going on. I have not seen any indication of that. I wonder if the Minister could answer my question? Is there any impact on the decentralized model in the Keewatin region? If you are going to be decentralizing and down loading or setting up your regional government?

That is an honest question. Thank you, Mr. Todd. I would like the Minister from MACA to answer the question. I am not talking about control. I am sorry the Minister feels that I cannot understand the question. I understand the question I am asking. I would like to understand the answer you are trying to give. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
