Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I was not questioning the credibility or the legal skills of Mr. Funston. Mr. Speaker, the reason behind my question, of course, was the jurisdictional concern of the Northwest Territories in this regard. That was the adjacent islands that are in Hudson Bay and James Bay and the effect of those. That is my question. I would ask the Premier, is that the representation this government is presenting that if, indeed, Quebec had separated, would they not have a claim on those islands? Was that what the Premier tried to explain in his opening comment? That was my question. Is that the reason why we were there? Thank you.
