Mr. Speaker, of course, we have to get through the first situation we have and that is to try to get the current collective agreement approved by the membership. I have said, I am sure to the point where all of you are perhaps tired of hearing, that I am hoping it will go to the membership and I am confident the membership will give it the kind of vote that is necessary. My understanding of the situation is that whatever collective agreement is in place at the time is transferrable over to the new Nunavut government and that the conditions, et cetera, will stay the same until such time as the collective agreement expires and a new collective agreement is negotiated by a new government, a new finance minister and a new minister responsible for the FMBS. Thank you.
