Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Madam Chairperson, come April 1, 1999, we will have an operating, functioning government. It is imminent. We will have a government of the Nunavut area sitting in the legislature and a public government in the western Arctic designing and drafting for Nunavut. I do not feel comfortable in that regard. Once Nunavut is functioning, it will be for the functioning government. It will be able to adopt this as a whole, perhaps amended or will draft a new legislation tailored for Nunavut. At this time, I feel we should, for the sake of the public and children, enact this legislation at this time, and I would urge my colleagues to support Bill 15. Thank you.
