Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, would like to congratulate you, Mr. Speaker, on your election, and also to congratulate Mr. Ng on his election as Minister.

Today, Mr. Speaker, I want to talk about respect; about respect for people and about respect for property. That respect is being eroded in every community in the Northwest Territories. It was not long ago that we didn't have to lock our doors in Yellowknife, but that day is long gone. I don't think it's constructive to overstate the problem, and I really think that the problem still is manageable. But I think the time has come for all of us to take the problem very seriously.
