Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I just want to congratulate the efforts made by Mr. Todd, the chair of the Division Planning Committee, and all the other committee members and their staff, in producing and tabling the draft transition action plan for the creation of two new territories. This is a transition action plan. The Footprints 2 does not have, as I understand, a transition plan to create two new territories. I believe as MLA and as a beneficiary, also as an Inuk representing a region in the NWT, that a draft resource identifying transition needs is an important missing tool. This is a missing tool, that is the key word, that is needed to help further guide our efforts towards the creation of two new territories. I am glad to know that there has been this plan developed and will be even happier when I see those things that are critical in the plan being actioned by our federal partners and our Nunavut Interim Commissioner.
Mr. Chairman, I would just like to say thank you to all those who worked on the plan. It is a missing tool that is needed. It is not in the Footprints 2. It is not saying anything negative about the Footprints 2 model. This is a missing tool that is needed to create two new territories and I want to thank the efforts of Mr. Todd, his staff and his committee members. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
