I move a motion to report progress.

Mr. Chairman, I believe we have a motion to sit here until we conclude this item.

Thank you. Mr. Chairman, although we have not said it explicitly, we have concluded discussion on this item. The item being discussed before the committee was a report that recommended two additional seats for Yellowknife. We entertained that motion, that motion was defeated. We subsequently have dealt with two additional motions, all of which are defeated. It is very clear, although not explicit, that the status quo is that we have concluded what will be our response to the report of the commission. Therefore, I suggest that the item has been concluded and we should adjourn. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in fact, there were other recommendations contained in the Electoral Boundaries Commission Report which have not been dealt with by way of motion here today. One of those recommendations included the removal of Enterprise from the Hay River riding and moved into the Deh Cho riding. Mr. Chairman, I am not sure how to proceed with this because, again, this would constitute with dealing with the information gathered by the Electoral Boundaries Commission in isolation of any other kinds of changes. I have questions arising from that. I have indicated publicly that if Enterprise wants to be moved into the Deh Cho, as the representative for that riding I have no objection to that. I understand the reasoning and so on. There are other questions surrounding how this would be dealt with as an isolated change. There could be issues related to how many people attended in Enterprise and whether or not they have been adequately consulted and whether this is a majority position of that community or not. I do not know the answer to that right now. The other thing I do not know is what it would cost to redraw the electoral boundaries to make this one change which is, in fact, for 86 constituents.

I do not know what is involved in terms of redrawing voters' lists, maps, all those sorts of things. I would like to know if this can be brought back to the House as a formal motion after some questions have been looked into with respect to the wishes of the community and the costs associated with doing this in isolation of any other changes to the electoral map? That matter has not been dealt with. That is my question. I do not know who can answer that question, but can this be dealt with as a separate motion, other than within the discussion that is being held here today?
