Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wanted to follow up on the cost of individually negotiating self-government agreements with communities that was brought up earlier on another category. I am wondering whether we can take a proactive approach. I think I have heard that we have been thinking about that by drawing on a record of the higher costs apparently that go with an individual community negotiations and apparently little gains and additional difficulties with implementation. I am wondering, are we recording those sorts of relatively higher costs in a way that we can take two regions that start dealing with self-government negotiations? Obviously we have several to go yet. Are we documenting these costs, inefficiencies and sufficiently highlighting the advantage of our GNWT’s experience at delivering community services in a way that can prevent us from going into those individual community negotiations and stick with a regional approach? Thank you.
