Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under the heading, constitutional issues, we have two final motions. I move that this committee recommends that Nunavut and the western territory receive separate representation in the Senate of Canada.
Committee Motion 16-12(7): To Adopt Recommendation 16, Carried
In the Legislative Assembly on November 16th, 1994. See this topic in context.

Is that one in the west and one in Nunavut or can we look at more than one?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The motion is that we have one Member of the Senate of Canada in Nunavut and one in the western territory. Later on, it could be two each, et cetera.
