Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to table two petitions. The first is Petition No. 18-13(3) and is with regard to the MLA compensation report, which contains 118 signatures: "We, the undersigned, request that the MLA compensation package be publicly debated and resolved."
The second petition, Petition No. 19-13(3), is with regard to naming of the Western Territory. This petition contains 268 signatures and, Mr. Speaker, the petitions request: "in the matter of a petition to the governments of the Northwest Territories and in the matter of a petition to the Government of Canada by the residents of the western portion of the Northwest Territories.
We, the undersigned, hereby petition the governments of the Northwest Territories for the Western Arctic after division in 1999. The designation has served the North and western portions of Canada throughout our modern history and carries with it that history and international recognition of which we, as residents of the Northwest Territories, are justly proud.
Further, we believe that any change in this designation will result in needless expenditure, discord and international isolation. The Northwest Territories is our home and we want it to remain as such." Thank you.
