Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I have a couple of questions. One, would the Keewatin Communities Association, as I believe they are called, be involved in approving or project management of those projects that are identified under federal funding in this book, $12 million worth of them? Any future projects as well? That is one question I have.
The other question is, as a Member for an area that is going to end up in the west, I am reluctant at this point in time to get involved in approving any form of government, whether it is temporary, advisory or legislative type authority in the Keewatin, in Nunavut in general unless there is some hope that this movement would continue in Nunavut after 1999.
We are talking about implementing something here that could die in 1999. Obviously, it would be a waste of a lot of effort and time on the part of a fair amount of people. I wonder if we could get assurance from the department that they would not proceed with this project unless it had, in writing, the support of the Interim Commissioner and NTI? Those are the two questions I have.
