Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think that we did in a meeting in Rankin Inlet of the division meeting we had in Rankin with Ms. Stewart, indicate to her in support the Interim Commissioner's Office requests for additional fiscal authority. In effect, Mr. Anawak, I have to be a little cautious speaking on his behalf, up until that point only had the equivalent spending authority of the assistant deputy minister at federal level. It came quite clear, I think at least to me and to others, that if he is going to be able to move forward on initiatives to get the operations of government up and running, that he required greater fiscal authority and that arrangement was being worked out as we speak. I hope at the end of the day when the government in conjunction with the Interim Commissioner selects an appropriate proponent for this project, will be able to sign off and get it done. Thank you.
