Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Without an architects act, the Northwest Territories will not have any architects designated as design professionals qualified to make crucial decisions on the implementation of the national building code. In short, the Northwest Territories Architectural Society has done all it can. Having an act, Mr. Speaker, is a matter of interest to public safety. Every province in this country already has such legislation. The north requires an act. Without one the public is at risk of injury. It is incumbent upon this government to ensure the health and safety of the public is maintained. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
