Thank you. I would like to table, Tabled Document 77-13(3), a motion from the Sahtu Assembly, 1996.

It reads:

Whereas Division of the Northwest Territories will take place in 1999, whereas with Division the Northwest Territories as we know it, will no longer exist, and whereas the Eastern Arctic will be known as Nunavut after Division, and whereas we in the west have an opportunity to create a new name for the western arctic after Division.

Therefore be it resolved that the Sahtu Dene and Metis agree that the name "Northwest Territories" should be retired with dignity and respect, after Division. That the Dene and Metis agree that there should be a new name for the western arctic after Division.

Third, the Sahtu Dene and Metis support the efforts of their MLA to have a new name selected for the western arctic after Division.

Thank you.
