Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Once division happens, I think all of us are going to be compelled to work to develop an identity for ourselves. Something that will begin to help us see the unique characteristics that set us apart and will set us apart from other Canadians. We are diverse as a Inuvialuit, Metis, Dene, even within the Dene Nation. We are diverse.
As northern peoples, each of us brings different strengths and characteristics to our community. I believe that is an important part of our work ahead to start to articulate what it is that sets us apart, what it is that makes us northern peoples, and what would make us unique as citizens of the new Northwest Territories. I think that is beginning already, but also I think part of the vision is that we will always be a part of Nunavut. We will always be neighbours, strong supporters and a close friend to the people of Nunavut because of the enormous ties that we will have and the common history that we have had for so many years. That is going to be part of the character and the identity of those of us that live in the western part of the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
