Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The working group that consists of officials from the GNWT, the federal government and the other parties have been working overtime on this issue. The Nunavut Act amendments are seen to be critical in the process and they need to be introduced and passed within the next few months. There has been good progress in most areas of the needed amendments. As I understand it, there are discussions on some final outstanding issues or points which all the parties are working on, in fact, today, and over the weekend, in order to come to a closer consensus on what is required. As far as the timing for our introduction into the House of Commons that is still planned for the next couple months and we are confident that will happen. Thank you.
