Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this past weekend I was able to travel home and touch base with constituents and my family. Mr. Speaker, I spoke to many people and held a constituency meeting while I was at home for the weekend. A number of issues came forward. There is a continuing concern with the education that is provided to the students and children of the Northwest Territories. There is concern in my community with the self-government process and what is happening. How will the Beaufort Delta self-government work and tie into the whole constitutional effort that we are going through as the Government of the Northwest Territories? Mr. Speaker, an issue that came forward as well is the ongoing concern with government and how it does its business. Mr. Speaker, as I said earlier in one of my other Member's statements, sometimes we need to nip things in the bud. They are like weeds because if they start growing, they will continue to grow. The concern out there, no matter how much information we put forward, the seed has been planted. It is a hard one to turn around. I would urge this government
and all Members of this Assembly that we need to start doing some weeding. We need to get the Weedex out and clean up our image and show the people of the territories that we truly represent the people and their interests in the Northwest Territories as we know it. It is time to put action our words. It is time to move forward. It is time to be responsible. Thank you.
