I would like to begin today Mr. Speaker, by paying tribute to Mr. Titus Allooloo. We do this from time to
time because very often things go by unnoticed and they are forgotten. In Norman Wells during the 11th Assembly, Mr. Titus Allooloo skillfully persuaded all the Members of the 11th Assembly that it was time to have a plebiscite on division of the territories. He worked very hard, he was very persuasive and agreed that in the wording of the eventual plebiscite question there would be protection for the interest of the west. These kinds of things are often forgotten, Mr. Speaker. They are hidden away in the Hansard, which very few people read. It is only perhaps 15, 20 or 30 years later, or perhaps after the poor guy is dead, that people realize that the person who started this was never really recognized for it. Today however, at least this Assembly will know that it was this gentleman in Norman Wells who achieved that very remarkable event that lead to the plebiscite and the eventual division of the Northwest Territories.
