Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to present a petition today on the matter of naming the new western territory. Mr. Speaker, Petition No. 68-13(3) contains 81 signatures from residents of Hay River. Mr. Speaker the petitioners request that: We, the undersigned, feel that the name for the western territory should remain as is, the Northwest Territories. As most of us have either been born here or have resided in the Northwest Territories for most of our lifetime we consider the Northwest Territories our home and would like to see the name remain as is. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
