Thank you, Mr. Chairman. To the motion, this is the first time I have seen this particular map as it is being proposed. I do not think it is fair to put that before this Assembly at this particular time. I am astounded that this would be brought forward in this fashion, without consultation of the Yellowknife Members. I think it is inconsiderate and I believe that we can work better in this Assembly than to shove these types of things in front of each other on a surprise basis. I believe that Members, hopefully, will use their better judgement and turn this motion down. It deserves to be turned down and I will certainly be voting against it. Thank you.
