Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I find the amendment and the motion itself particularly unusual. I am surprised we are not considering other motions. Why do we not divide Mr. Steen's constituency, as has been discussed? Why do we not consider Mr. Antoine's constituency, as was discussed, requested and commented upon? No, we have to address it on Yellowknife. Yellowknifers have not had a chance to deal with this situation. We as Yellowknife representatives have not had a chance to deal with this situation. To bring forward a motion and then an amended motion, what is this? In reality, what is this? I am not here to deal with the other constituencies and to suggest how they should be redrawn. I am not doing that at all. I think it is very unfair and very unusual in my mind. Thank you. I will be voting against the amendment. Thank you.
