Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this is one issue that most ordinary MLAs have talked about. This is one issue that most ordinary MLAs have supported. Over the course of a month we have met in our committee with the seniors and the elders. They have indicated to us that they have chosen to live in the territories. Each and every one of us knows that the elders have provided leadership in time of need. They have provided shelters to us when we were young and unable to provide for ourselves. They have provided food for us when we were in need and needed help. Mr. Speaker, the seniors have contributed to the society when we were in need. They are the leadership. They have the wisdom and we have learned much about life from our elders. Therefore, I would urge each Member to vote in favour of the motion. Thank you.
