The other half of the question, Mr. Chairman, would the department make some effort to assure that they have the support of the Interim Commissioner and NTI in writing before they proceed with implementation with this particular movement? Mr. Chairman, I did talk with a mayor from the Keewatin, who I was quite friendly with in the past, and he did express his concern as to why we, in the west, would question this movement. I thought I had explained to him very clearly that I have no objection to this movement provided it has the written support of the Interim Commissioner and NTI, and therefore, it had a hope of surviving after 1999.
The second part of it was, I expressed to him I did not wish to be seen as designing a government for Nunavut. This, in fact, could be looked at in that way and that is what my concern is. I expressed those concerns to that particular mayor and he had seen the light, as far as I had thought, anyway, and he confirmed that he had nothing in writing at this point from the Interim Commissioner or NTI, but he would seek it because he did have verbal support for it. That is all I am asking. Is the department willing to seek this support in writing before we proceed?
