Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, speaking as an MLA for Nahendeh, and speaking to the motion here, these sort of discussions, were kind of worked out in the past in the Western Caucus, but it was agreed on by everyone from the Western Caucus that we would have an open debate on this on the floor of the House.

As a result, that is how I took this motion, as well as the previous one, where the Member for Yellowknife, Mr. Dent, has put this motion of creating five electoral districts on the floor. I was not aware this was going to happen and I was not aware about this one here of dividing actually on a map the four existing electoral districts. Although I did say in my comment, Mr. Chair, that I would prefer that instead of supporting the two extra seats in Yellowknife that we re-look at the electoral districts in Yellowknife and divide the population into four equal areas, I think there are about 17,000 people, and divide it that way. I did make that comment in my general comments in the debate, Mr. Chair. Thank you.
