Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, while I reviewed my schedule for this summer, I realized how busy the western NWT will be. We have many important issues that must be settled. The different aboriginal groups will all have their assemblies and without a doubt, one of the big topics of these will be the division/boundary issue. The western constitutional talks are under way and all western communities must get involved in these discussions, as well as the residents of the western NWT. This is very important to all of us. We need public input to ensure the constitution is set up the way we all collectively want it.
We now have the boundary commission established, which needs to get moving and discuss the boundary issue with all of our residents. I feel this commission must finalize this once and for all. All residents must have a fair and equitable representation. It is their right as Canadian residents. We must find a way to ensure we have full aboriginal support and input for this to succeed. Our government cannot be perceived to be favouring the larger centres because of the higher population basis. Finally, I would like to wish all of my colleagues a safe and relaxing journey to your families and communities and have a good summer. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
