Masi, Mr. Chair. Climate change has such a huge impact for us here in the Northwest Territories. We are experiencing it, and also experiencing a rapid warming. Significant changes, obviously, in our wildlife. The caribou are a prime example for our jurisdiction, and fire, and others. It does have an impact on the communities' infrastructures, and health, and also their safety. We have heard yesterday from the mayor of Paulatuk, Mr. Ruben, about his travels with family members, and they lost two machines. That is a real life, Mr. Chair, and we obviously need to do better with our own initiatives.

We do have some strategies in place within the GNWT, the climate change framework 2030 and 2030 energy strategy. Those are just some of the documents that we have created. I am a firm believer that we need to have our own northern solution, northern package, that has the voice the North, the people the North, and so they can have their handprint on the actual legislation that goes through this House to deal with the climate change, the global warming, carbon pricing.

So those are just some of the areas that we have been hearing from the federal perspective, federal coming down on us and saying, "This is what you are going to do." We stood against that, and now I feel that we need to do more in those areas. We need to have our own. We're crafting up our own legislation that meets the needs the North. Let's reach out to the elders. Let's reach out to the communities. Those community harvesters are the experts. They deal with this day to day. Us, sitting around the table, we do not. I am a hunter myself, but I am not as expert as those elders are who are 80, 90 years old, who can tell us stories similar to the one yesterday. We need to hear more of those, those stories, and the sharing.

Elders have always told us, "Share your stories, and plant the seed within your Legislative Assembly." One of my elders, Pierre Beaverho, is a prime example. They want us to move forward with their ideas and share in their stories. So, Mr. Chair, there are a lot of areas that we can tackle, climate change and carbon pricing, but we do have some strategies in place. I believe we can expand on that, as well, but it has to be a northern solution. Masi, Mr. Chair.
