Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I get the feeling that most of us agree that there should be some sort of committee established to deal with social issues, since there are a lot of social problems out there in the NWT. I think we all agree that something has to be done to attempt to find solutions that are crippling our communities. But in terms of this motion, I agree that something has to be done, but I am not sure that having the terms of reference in the motion limits us MLAs as to what the terms of reference of that committee should be.
My first question would be, the motion says the a special committee be established; I wonder who would establish that committee? My main concern is that I agree there should be a committee, but in terms of coming up with terms of reference, I think every MLA should be speaking to what the committee should be doing.
