Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The extra position on Cabinet that we're talking about, I've heard my colleagues from my part of the region talk about whether or not an extra Minister's position should be for Nunavut.

Mr. Chairman, if there was an extra position on Cabinet, the ninth position that we've talked about, to help the people who that we label as living in the streets; if the position was to help the people, the mothers who are in need of help, when a member of the household is abusing the children and the mother; if the extra position was to help the student who at times goes to school without having breakfast; if the position was to help the elders who are being abused in their own when their cheque is cashed at a local outlet and subsequently the elders receive only part of their cheque, then I would be in a position to support this move, Mr. Chairman. I would, in fact, support it even with the limited dollars that we have in the system, but I know this is not going to be the case. We talked about zero tolerance during the last term. Some people indicated it doesn't have any teeth. If the position was going to help to make sure that zero tolerance now has real teeth, then I would be in a position to support that at this point in time. But we know that this is not going to be the case.

The motion indicated that this issue that we talked about will be looked at in six months' time. I think it is a good motion. When you're in a public arena such as we're sitting in today, that we do not kill the motion especially if it has merit in the system to make life easier for the people within the jurisdiction.

I think the motion has merit. If this were an idealistic world, I would be supporting it. Perhaps in six months' time, we will find out that, in fact, there is a need to have an extra position in the Cabinet.

Mr. Chairman, I will support the motion. I think it is a good motion. There will be time to talk about it within six months. Thank you.
