Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, colleagues. I know, Mr. Speaker, my constituents will thank me for raising these concerns on their behalf. More so, Mr. Speaker, all people of the Northwest Territories, including the residents of Yellowknife, will agree with my concern that any unfair application of policy has to be accounted for.
Financial expenditures without authorization are not acceptable by residents of the Northwest Territories, or in Yellowknife. It may not be important in Yellowknife, but then who does the Yellowknifer speak for, or account to? Mr. Speaker, unlike the media I am accountable to an electorate. The media, and should I be more specific, the Yellowknifer, can say what they want, publicly harm peoples' reputations, or impute motives without accountability, and never lose an argument.
Mr. Speaker, the editors, the writers and owners of the Yellowknifer, in my personal view, do not accept that Members may at times show their humanity or human faults. They are probably perfect, which I can say, I am not. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
