Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I too, like my colleague from Natilikmiot, will be endorsing the recommendations. I think that it is good for all the aboriginal peoples of the Northwest Territories. We will have an inherent right to self-government. We all know that we are a distinct society, and therefore, I think that I am going to be going along with my colleague.
I think that it is about time that we show our support on this, because we are going to finally have a rightful and meaningful place in Canadian society. For too many years, we have been tossed around like a caesar salad, it just is not fair that we continue in this kind of a manner. If we look at our country, and compare it to other countries in the world, I think that Canada is a world leader, an envy of many industrialized countries that try to understand and to make native peoples a part of the mosaic of Canadian society.
When I hear belabouring about this and that, and how it is going to be done, let us just give our government and the people of Canada a chance to say, hey, this is good for us. When we question anything and everything, it confuses the situation a lot more and people sort of die by the wayside.
I really will be endorsing this because I feel that, finally, we have something to be proud of, especially this government, where the honourable Stephen Kakfwi and Madam Premier have worked so hard. Sure the final context is not yet done, but it will be shortly. With their knowledge of how the aboriginal peoples in the territories are struggling, we could put our trust in them to get us where we want to go, and what we want to achieve. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
