Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, my colleagues. I and the rest of the Nunavut Caucus look forward with much anticipation to the exciting days which lie ahead. As we work toward 1999 and the creation of Nunavut we realise that there will be much work for us all before the territory is established. As we strive towards this day we pledge to the western Members of this House that we will work cooperatively with you in order to demonstrate to the other region of the country that although we may split the territory in two, Mr. Speaker, we can still work together. We can put our individual agendas aside in order for the people of the Northwest Territories to benefit from new and better government in our homeland. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
