Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do not know how Jake received my motion. Seriously, Mr. Speaker, I am speaking in favour of this motion. It is very important that the people that are making decisions and delivering programs and services to the north are actually in the north. I also agree with Mr. Krutko that we should be getting the approval and support of the aboriginal people. Perhaps we could ask the aboriginal governments to pass motions in support of this with whatever variation that they wish to include, of course, at their annual assemblies, because most of the aboriginal governments have their annual assemblies in the summertime and I am sure that many of us will be attending those assemblies and I am sure Mr. Antoine has most of them on his agenda. I know that a few other people also do. Thank you.
