Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There sure are a lot of surprises, there are not that many surprises today I guess, but there are always a few. It is good to see everybody live up to their agreements in this Legislative Assembly. I remember the debate in the Legislative Assembly on the Nunavut Boundaries Commission. We had a mutual agreement with the Nunavut Members that we, as western Members, will be there to make sure they had a quorum, we would support them, whatever they decide. We would not get involved. We thought we had that agreement from them as well. But, everybody shows their colours at different times.
This amendment to the motion, I can understand the concern of the Yellowknife Members. I think the intent of the original motion was to give Yellowknife the opportunity to equal out its ridings. They seem to be very concerned about that. This is not the first time it has been raised. It was raised in the last electoral boundaries that we had in the previous Assembly as well.
It is up to Yellowknife how they move their boundaries around in the city. I believe that this amendment will give them the opportunity by changing it, staying in consultation with the four Yellowknife MLAs, will give them an opportunity to go consult their community and come back and say where they want their riding adjusted. If they do not, then that is fine, but it still will be four seats. No more, four seats. And that is what the motion will read once it is amended, that the current electoral district of Yellowknife North, Yellowknife Centre, Yellowknife Frame Lake and Yellowknife South be redrawn in consultation with the four Yellowknife MLAs. If they come back with exactly the same seats, exactly the same lines, that is how they decided to redraw it, I guess. It would be up to them, but it would be their decision. I am going to support the amendment.
