Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have a protocol agreement with the Interim Commissioner which we signed in relationship to either current contracts that require a continuance, for example, an extension of leases or for any new projects which go beyond April 1, 1999. I think there is a 30-day turn around time in terms of putting Project A out. Let us use my colleague's riding. His interest, for example, would be for the health centre. Let us assume the health centre goes out and an appropriate group of companies or company is selected at the end of July or earlier and there is a fiscal requirement that goes beyond April 1, 1999. We would advise the Interim Commissioner. We would seek his concurrence and proceed with it. There would be a protocol agreement which would have been signed, which allows us to do that. His level of fiscal responsibility, I am not sufficiently knowledgable of that today, but I will look into that and report back to my colleague before the session closes. I can say again that there is a protocol agreement in place which enables us to move forward in a timely and orderly way with the Interim Commissioner's office for commitments in Nunavut that go beyond April 1, 1999. Thank you.
