Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe Ms. Mike has articulated the arguments quite explicitly as to why it is important for Members of this House to support such a motion. I have had my opportunities to speak to a young man by the name of Billy Archie, who was a participant in the Inuvialuit delegation to the annual meetings, and he has explained to me on many occasions how difficult it is to convince the International Whaling Commission even to address the matter of a bowhead whale for the Inuvialuit community and how difficult it was to even explain to them the aboriginal harvesting rights that existed and how difficult it was for the delegation to try to assure the International Whaling Commission that they would continue to maintain their traditional concern with regard to harvesting of whales in Canada.
I only can say again that Ms. Mike has articulated extremely well why this motion should be supported by Members of this House, and I would ask all Members to rise and support this motion.
