Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will be supporting this motion. I would have hoped that we had more time to discuss this and perhaps make a few minor changes. However, there is a lot of work that has to be done in this area. There are land claims and other agreements that have been made between various aboriginal governments, between ourselves as the GNWT and the federal government and they do need to be coordinated in some fashion. Hopefully, this motion will wake up various people such as the Cabinet and perhaps the federal government that something has to be done. It may not be exactly as outlined in here, but I am in favour of this motion because I believe that something has to be done and time is not standing still, Mr. Speaker. Just because we are working towards division, does not mean that we cannot work on other things as well. For that reason I am supporting the motion. Thank you.
