Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am assuming that the Member is talking about the new deal that we rolled out as a territorial government. The target date for implementation is 2008. We have a number of strategies we still have to roll out. We have already announced a number of things in terms of what we plan to do immediately. There are still a number of things that we have to decide how we are going to move forward with. One of the things that we have already put into the new budget for the next coming fiscal year is the transferring of property tax revenues over to the communities in the form of a grant. We are also looking at increasing the community infrastructure funding to a base amount so that there will be a lot more available for non-tax-based communities and also the tax-based communities to deal with their infrastructure requirements. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
