Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I indicated in my ministerial speech earlier today, I am cautiously optimistic that in the formulas for the ongoing needs for both Nunavut and the west, we are going to come to an agreement fairly soon with the federal government and the parties and hopefully, a positive announcement within the next two or three months. On the other hand, my honourable colleague talks about the need for additional transitional dollars, in which, within that identification there were monies as it related directly to one-time monies as related to the decentralized model. I understand there is a working committee working with the Interim Commissioner's office and the federal government trying to identify or working toward identifying the additional dollars necessary to ensure that the implementation of a decentralized government happens as quickly and expeditiously as possible. Thank you.
