Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. (Translation) I am going to speak in my own language. A while ago I received a paper -- regarding the upcoming plebiscite. The paper that I received, I would like to say something regarding that. I would like to think about what I am going to say before I say it.
Next month, on May 4, here in the NWT, we are going to be talking about the upcoming boundary. The question on this plebiscite will be whether you agree to the boundary or not. The people that are 18 years old and over will be able to vote. Tomorrow and the during the next eight days there are going to be people going around enumerating, an enumeration to determine who can vote. I feel that this is very important and that is why I am saying this.
Last week, while I was in Simpson, some people asked me about this. What they were concerned about was that something this important that is coming up - we are not being given much information on it. "I guess this is going to happen, but we would like to know more about it," is what the people said. I thought about it. The people in my constituency voted for me, so I would like to speak on their behalf. I feel there is something important that is being worked on in this government, and they should be talking to the government in this regard. I thought about that very hard.
