Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Frankly, I must echo Mr. Kakfwi's sentiments. I am rather insulted by this move by people from outside of the Yellowknife constituencies to tell us how we are to reconstitute our four constituencies here in Yellowknife. For one thing, this document does not indicate how the population will be redistributed. We do not know what we are looking at, we do not know what we are voting on. Neither does anybody here. I would expect that if things were to remain the same, then the Members, at least, would have the common decency to let the four Yellowknife MLAs decide how the Yellowknife constituencies would be redistributed. I cannot vote in favour of this motion. Thank you.
