Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I was concerned yesterday about the way we were being asked to advance toward the plebiscite in May. It was not with any sense of being awkward or disruptive that I denied the unanimous consent to deal with the whole plebiscite issue yesterday. The concern I have is that we are continually being told that this is a plebiscite simply to do with the boundary, and yet, despite those allegations, time and time again when you look at the plebiscite question, there are all kinds of preambles of what is going to happen in the Beaufort Sea, what is going to happen in the Mackenzie Valley, what is going to happen with employment, and so on. It seems to me that if it is just simply a matter of a boundary, then it should be made clear in the plebiscite question that that is all we are talking about, without having all these additions that tend to obscure what we are trying to do.

The other concern I have, again related to the plebiscite question, is the way in which we are trying to adjust ages, so that you can be this age to vote for that and another age to vote for something else. It is becoming an issue which I feel is becoming crowded and will make it very difficult for the people of the NWT to deal with something which, according to the statement Mr. Kakfwi made this morning, has been delegated to the Executive Council to deal with, without the input of the other Members of this House. I am very concerned about it.
