Thank you, Madam Chairperson. I too will be voting against the motion. The motion does have very wide implications and requires, in my opinion, a consensus of all peoples of the Northwest Territories and I do not believe that everyone has been consulted on this. I concur that the objective should be this, but to again put it within legislation I do not believe is at this time appropriate and therefore I will be voting against it. Thank you.
