(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The mayors came over to Yellowknife, met with us and said the ideas that they have been dealing with. They were not sure why the people in the west would be concerned about this when they will not be living in Nunavut when Nunavut comes about. That was a question they had and they were wondering why the people in the west would have a concern about this. They felt that they would encourage the people in the west if they had done something like this. I will be letting my deputy minister respond to his question. (Translation ends)
