The whole issue of agencies, boards and commissions is one that is all encompassing. They are not isolated, whether you talk about the liquor board, the Public Utilities Board, the Labour Standards Board or whatever. The whole issue of boards and how they are going to function in Nunavut is currently under review by the parties at the table. As I said to my honourable colleague, I am optimistic we will reach the appropriate resolve and compromises that are necessary to ensure Nunavut has the ability; one, to regulate its own liquor outlets, if you want; and two, to secure the necessary taxes that do come from liquor, I think, are somewhere in the region of about $30 million a year. Thank you.
