Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I regret that we have to come forward with this motion, but I think recognizing that the previous motion failed, it is still essential that we address the overall size of the constituencies in Yellowknife. I do not believe that redrawing them into four constituencies will adequately serve the residents in attaining relative parity in voting power. In fact, I doubt that five does either, but I must say that it will at least make some move to address the inequity and I would hope that Members will agree to support this motion. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
