Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I am presenting Petition No. 1-13(3), signed by 13 workers from Nanisivik and Arctic Bay. This petition states that members of the Union of Northern Workers are not the cause of the deficit. Cutting positions and wage rollbacks is not the solution. Cutbacks will bring widespread hardship to each northern community. Private enterprise does not work as a community service. Private enterprise works for profit. Privatization will cost more. We believe it is your duty to oppose the cut-and-slash policy adopted by the Government of the Northwest Territories in its contract negotiations with the Union of Northern Workers. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
