Well, some of us believe that certain functions of government are better performed by the private sector. Others, of course, choose not to and that is everybody's personal preference. The reality is we did a pilot project in the Keewatin under the Brookside group and as my honourable colleague, Mr. Picco, from Iqaluit indicated in earlier questions, we are still trying to access the success or failure of that. There is no intent at this stage of the game to go any further than we have in Keewatin unless we have got a success. I am going to check with my deputy minister on what the status is of the evaluation of the Keewatin project. Some of us have got the fortitude and envision, if it is successful, to move forward and do it elsewhere. I suspect quite frankly, it will go no further given the short time we have got left and that it will be left up to the new Nunavut government as it proceeds forward on April 1, 1999.
