Thank you, Mr. Chair. I was a part of the special committee that looked at issues like this. A number of years ago, I had given a speech here in the Legislature addressing the need for a new name. I still believe the Northwest Territories is not a name; it is a direction. It is a label, but not a name.

Attention is required on this issue. We cannot keep the Northwest Territories forever. It has to change. There will be a day when there will be aboriginal governments set up. There will be a day when an autonomous government with quasi- provincial status is here. It will need a name.

What process do we have for it? There is no particular process, but I know this intergovernmental forum we are setting up should be part of the agenda. Aboriginal people should have some input into the way we address these issues as a public government, as the Government of the Northwest Territories.

We set up a special committee to look at things like a new Mace, a flag and all of the different symbols that we need to look at. I was a part of that committee. I think it is very important to focus on the things we surround ourselves with. It is like decorating your own home. If it is your home, then you should decide how to decorate, what to hang on the walls, what kind of pictures should be in your halls and in your bedrooms. Thank you.
